A big question on this is as the cost/gram ratio has grown at an exponential rate, at what point is one willing to fork over the coin necessary to drop grams? For the most part the target is always wheels, but to get into strong and light territory you X out the cheap part of the maxim with a quickness. I fully see the value in lighter weight wheels, but when we start talking a significant portion of a month's pay I lose interest PDQ. IMO shedding grams in other components generally gets reduced performance and/or longevity while still having a high dollar to gram lost ratio.
