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.
Are you sure Brembo's are in increase in braking capability? Have you done any bias calculations? They will certainly keep cooler and resist brake fade. But based on what I've researched, they harm the brake bias and could actually lead to longer stopping distances.

Just curious...
