That's pretty sketchy. When a wheel is being designed, the engineer will call out specific tolerances that need to be adhered to in order to retain structural integrity of the wheel. When one alters this, the wheel could be potentially overstressed in some areas. I would not recommend anyone to do this to their wheels unless they have access to FEA analysis to be sure that the wheel is still structurally sound.

dumb dumb dumb....

when a red hot caliper cracks one day at the track you'll regret doing that.

So, if I cut my caliper in half, will the reduction in unsprung weight off-set the reduction in swept area?

Ahaha! not only that but you should drill holes in your rotors and the spokes of your wheels (like swiss cheese) to save unsprung weight ...

(For those that don't get it, it's a joke don't do it!)
