Jon,
The Roadster rear brake drums are finned aluminum drums.  I don't recall
the diameter off the top of my head, but most likely you're stock.

It's funny you brought this up because yesterday I was in traffic next
to a tricked out Honda.  The guy had very open 5 spoke wheels on the car
and had painted his steel drum bright yellow to match the car.  I
couldn't help thinking that i had finned aluminum drums on my 30 year
older sportscar, and I wouldn't highlight having steel drums on my car.
