I also thought of this while posting about my passion for 15" fat boys.

That said, I'm curious about brakes on the Cobra? Have you folks needed to upgrade?
I'd think front brakes would not be an issue while well vented - the car is light, and rear could (maybe) be a problem on hot track days but mine don't care about the rim size as these are inboard and will always suck anyway
