ROTA SDR's and FORMELS are both 16.3 lbs. At least I know how much the SDR's weigh, not sure about the formels...but ROTA seems to keep the weight consistant.

Don't just buy calipers! (read LabMonkey's post... he's the Mechanical Engineer) Buy a whole kit, if you're gonna go bigger. Otherwise, painting the stock calipers is no big deal, and looks good too. Just getting calipers not specifically designed for the stock rotors/master cylinder/etc would prolly cost like $600, and make the braking worse. The $40 can of paint's a much better deal.
I know that Rota rims vary in weight quite a bit. 17" Attacks are about 15lbs, 18" SubZeros are about 16lbs, SDRs are 16.3 as you say, but I've seen the 16" Formel listed at 17.7lbs!!
