And this is where (I know this doesn't help) the BBKs with aluminum hats and calipers starts to shine. I wrote on here somewhere about the weight savings on my StopTech upgrade. The exciting thing here is that I can stop looking for some OEM wheels and start looking for lighter ones that look goo like yours.

Has anyone here looked into a wheel upgrade as a performance factor? If yes, are you confident it would clear a BBK? I'm looking for 19" minimum, 20" ideal, and only if they were strong and light... 21"
