Just food for thought.
If you are going to change the wheels, consider the application of the car and look at different rim sizes and tires for those rims. I am not corner carving but street and drag - I found that I could use a less expensive and lighter 15" rim that uses less expensive tires (Nitto 555R DOT drag radials in the back are only $136ea for a 10.8" wide tire and Falken high speed up front are only $60ea) and still get the correct overall height. I cannot run larger rotors but slotted with the right pads and 4 piston calipers up front stop it quite well street or strip. Overall spent less and can use the left over money to replace rubber that wears out. I also got the backspacing right so as to get the wheels just less than flush with fats in the back and skinnies up front. Down side is that I cannot rotate but the point is that there are numerous combinations and each has it's pros and cons.
If you are going to spend the money - might as well get creative.
