Yes you need new wheels with the 88+ 900/9000 bolt pattern (I happened to stumble on a set of 16" Aero's at my local dealer back then) and yes, it's worth the trouble. The later Ate calipers are so much more reliable and consistent than the old Girlings, and the choice for pad compounds gets so much more interesting (same as E30 M3, although you -might- have to take a file to the backing plates). On a 'lightweight' c900 (no AC/big frigging stereo/etc) , the late 900 brakes with a good performance disc/pad combo prtovide ample stopping power. Only thing is that with the DS3000 pads and the crappy P6000 tires (stickier rubber on its way from Japan), it's quite easy to immediately lock the fronts up even from 200 km/h...
I've yet to get them to fade - but then again, we haven't hit the Nordschleife yet...
