A lot of performance cars did use vented drums. A lot of bikes did too.

I did not chech before and after weight. I would guess the difference to be less than a pound.

As for wear, I have seen brakes with thousands of miles on them that still look like new. The key is to sweep the entire shoe/pad.

I am going out right now to put them on the truck. I will post the results.
