    Here are the wheels. I think they look great and color match the car. 16x7 Front and 17x7.5 Rear.

    Here's the difference in the REAR brakes. Before and after diameter and thickness.

    What about a weight difference? Probably negligible compared to increased efficiency right?

    Right. The bigger rotor is significantly heavier. However that just means it's more dense and can take more heat/abuse.

    The only way you will get bigger brakes and light weight. Is if it's made of Mag or something stupid expensive found on exotic cars.

    Yup. Everything is being upgraded to the BIG 93+ Turbo brakes.

    4 Calipers
    4 Rotors
    4 Brake lines
    New master cylinder
    New proportioning valve
    Upgraded pads

    This setup cost me $1000
