Being aluminum with steel liners, rather than the cast iron of the original
drums, they are a few pounds lighter.  Less unsprung weight can lead to
better handling, less rotating weight can lead to better acceleration.  But
I doubt the difference is worth it, unless you are going racing.

besides performance.

Truth is, they look pretty cool, and that's enough for me.
