Considering the price discount these are very tempting. They are actual gm rotors though?

Wish it said which model these are for atleast

I still wouldn't spend that much on rotors. Too much of a wear item for that price.
My eBay package works fine.

Centrics. These are the same blanks that R1 Concepts, Stoptech, etc uses. Centric is the parent company.
