Point well taken.  Increased unsprung weight and increased rotational
mass (bigger-heavier brakes and heavier large diameter wheels) can
really affect the performance of a car...  Perhaps there is some merit
to the wildwood 15" setup (a compromise between to evils)...

BTW, I was curious to how much my Aero style wheel w/ tire weighed, so
the last time I had it off the car, I weighed it - 42lbs combined.  I
think that is pretty good, right? (don't tell the wife I used her
bathroom scale)

I just discovered that Alex's site sells the RS2 calipers - FYI
