Get off the 15" rotor.
One reason I went with the 360 mm rotors was fitting them under 18" wheels. The 2005 S-class rotor also has a deep hat that moves the calipers away from the wheels.
Your biggest enemy with these brakes is making sure the back of the spokes don't hit the caliper. That has a major impact on the style of the wheel. My wheels had to be made with an extra deep mounting pad to provide clearance. The mfg got it wrong the first time and a second set had to be made.
Forget you ever heard of 15" rotors. Leave those to the Bentley boys and find a smaller and much lighter rotor.
The rotors Oz and I use weigh 37 lbs each. That's 74 lbs of rotating mass that doesn't help acceleration or unsprung weight. Going bigger just makes it worse.

I think that 2-400 per wheel is ok
Seriously?
You want a $400 19" wheel that won't come apart with an old heavy car bouncing around on it?
Hello, China? I'd like to buy your best wheels...
