Yes, but then you have to stop all of that extra rotational mass of the wheels, so it pretty much cancels a lot of the additional stoping power out and just adds static weight, slowing accel and hurting handling.
I just did some quick research on Tirerack.com and pretty much every 22" wheel is at least 40lbs, where you can get a 20" Forged BBS wheel (the largest diamter they make I believe) which weighs only 22.5lbs (referring ot the RS-GT). That's almost half and you could still put pretty big binders on there. Doesn't the Enzo/ZR1 Carbon Ceramic Brembo brakes fit inside of a 20" wheel on those cars?
90% of the people could care less. And since it ways a damn 2 tons anyways, the looks out-weigh the wieght...literally.
That car looks freaking awesome. Totally changes the car and IMO makes it look super-classy. reminded me of a 7 series when I glance at it. The way it sits and the lines go perfectly. I like it more than the SHO wheels.
