just curious..
You know when athletes put on muscular weight its good, but when they put on fat its bad? That's like this. Saving weight on the wheels while increasing breaking capabilities is a win win.

I have done the weight comparisons, and going to a lighter wheel and the brembo front brakes can basically equal out at OEM weight if you do it right.
