Centric Premium Rotor for SS/TC? Heard of them?

Has anyone heard of Centric Premium Rotors? I can by them for $84.00 for both front and $80.00 for both rear which seems like a GREAT price but I've never heard of this company. Tirerack sells them and generally anything from tire rack is "ok" and crappy.

Any thoughts?

Centric is the parent company of Stoptech. Their rotors should be fine. Not much less than the stockers though. I believe they can be had for around $90 each.

Centric premiums are a good quality OE replacement rotor. $84 for both fronts is dirt cheap.

Whoops, I misread. I thought it was 84 each. Maven's right, that's a good deal. Let us know if they are actually the right ones. I checked with a friend who is a brake parts dealer about a month ago, and he didn't see an aftermarket TC rotor (thought R1 has one now).

It might be the wide angle lens, but the gap between the two rotor sides looks big, which means they cheaped out on material. Would have to compare to a stocker.

No need, the rotor in that pic looks like crap, obviously very cheap metal, and a poor casting (roughness)

Got my answer: "rotors for the 08-10 cobalt SS are not available at this time." Then why the hell do you have it on your site?!
