weight...........

Yup... ceramic or ceramic hybrid, but dollar vs performance on those puts them pretty low on my list.... money better saved for lightweight wheels and such. Or like you said, a diet. 
I believe Brock's Performance is a big fan of lightweight wheels with uber bearings on their all out builds.
Focus on weight... really look at all the little things that can go... it's easier to save 1 pound in 10 places than it is to find 10 pounds in a single place. Weight that spins or that moves at the end of a spring counts for more than just raw mass as well.... the faster it spins the more dramatic the effect. Lower weight ends up being the most expensive thing you can do at the upper echelons, but it will yield performance benefits in ALL directions, and reliability tends to get better when you're not throwing as much mass around.

Fookin' A! Well said.Yup... ceramic or ceramic hybrid, but dollar vs performance on those puts them pretty low on my list.... money better saved for lightweight wheels and such. Or like you said, a diet.
