I came really close to picking up a set of those or fn01r-c, had to rethink it tho as I plan on getting a set of brembo 4 pots=/ Ended up with a set of 2 piece 18" rims that weigh 23lbs for front and 25 in rear.
Get those on the car asap=P I wanna see what I passed up heh.

17" wheels work fine with the Brembo's.

Look on ebay man. every so offten you can find vendors selling older discontinued sets for 400+shipping. I almost bought a set that are almost like the ones jmac had but the older version(the slits are spaced wider apart) about a year ago.

Have not decided what I'm gonna be running up front as well as if I will or will not be looking into larger rears, even during my soloII's my rears retain a bit amount of heat. The HPDE I've ran I saw an 03-04 cobra run in the session before mine (same brake setup as my current ones) glow. So I decided to get 18's so I don't have to box myself in as far as future upgrades go.

Don't run a cheap pad. My initial pad purchase this year is over $500 just so that I have the correct pads for what I am doing. I am running Carbotech AX6's all around for street and auto-x while I run XP10's up front for track days.
The 18's will allow you to run an 14" rotor or a 6 piston caliper but I think you will be perfectly fine with an 00R kit and some good pads.
I don't think I would want the added rotating mass or tire price of running an 18" wheel.
