Wildwood rotors and top hats??

The two-piece design is advantageous for cooling however the rotor is a heat sink and less mass in the rotor means less cooling.

That's what I figured when I went with the 13" setup for my fronts. But that should be efficient enough for street and light track use. 14" or even 15" rotors are going to dissipate heat much more effectively.
