I was thinking of getting these with black centers, slotted only. Any thoughts? The price is $70 per pair plus $15 to paint the centers black.

Any pros and cons?

Thanks

I wouldn't use em. I don't have experience, but I don't know the name and the ad just says "TOP QUALITY" over and over again without any reason as to why.

CAD designed? Big deal, what machined part isn't?

I think they said it best themselves:

DON'T SETTLE FOR THOSE OTHER SELLERS SELLING "ECONOMY" ROTORS BUT STATING THEY ARE PREMIUM ROTORS. JUST BY THE PRICE THEY SELL THEM ALONE YOU WILL KNOW THEY ARE NOT QUALITY ROTORS. YOU MAY SAVE $10-$20 BUT THEY WILL CRACK OR WARP WITHIN A YEAR!!!!!!

IS IT REALLY WORTH IT???


The look chinese made to me, I would not use them. And a can of caliper paint is $5, just do it yourself.

I've used Brembo OEM style rotor's for replacement on both e21's and my e30's.

Had a little problem with my front-brakes "sticking" to the point where after 15miles the rotor's would become BLUE from heat, and would be too hot to even touch the rim's!

I have since fixed this problem but when this problem was happening I measured the heat of the rotor's after my 15mile drive with a heat gun (lazer) from my work the rotors temp was between 677-640 degree's, hub's were between 260-240 degree's, rim's were between 220-200 degree's, NO LIE!

I can say from experience that these OEM Brembo rotor's are of very high-quality and surprizeing durability for the price, $32 a side each. The rotors are scorched perminently but still run true and are still holding up, my 2-cents on the subject for the price$$$, peace out vibrant.
