Old School Rims

Actually the girling g60 caliper/carrier is close to 3 lbs heavier than
stock 16v setup and has less clamping force then the Wilwoods.

Which would only set you back about $250 for the set with pads, stainless
lines and adapters (used of course).

You'll have to run adapters anyway with the G60 and buy pads, so the cost is
a wash.

And, just to keep some of the nit pickers happy.....consider the unsprung
weight difference between a wilwood setup with 10 inch rotors and the G60
with 11 inch......not that I have weighed it but best guess is nearly a 10lb
per side difference.
