well i looked on their site and liked the bronze color look to them on their site. well i bought them and they just came in and they dont look like what they show on their site. they look nice but i wonder if they will rust like the factory rotors do.

well just because of color I dont think you should base if it will rust. If its zinc platted it "shouldnt" rust but otherwise every rotor does..soo did you buy zinc platted ones?

Why dont you email or call Tom at CED and ask. Then if they arent, like stiner said, theres paint for rotors so the rust "show". but any exposed metal will rust.

yeah 522 is including shipping too. the funny thing is i bought these rotors and they come in and they are acdelco rotors that are slotted and drilled. yeah i am kinda lil pissed now cause i have heard ppl that bought zinc plated slotted and drilled rotors and pads for 185. i would have been so much more happier.

you should remember...you do get what you pay for...

wait which rotors did you get...they are all priced at like 100-120 a rotor. Did you get the Cobalt Drilled and Slotted Rotor Package CDSR for $478?

Otherise theres no way you paid $522 for 2 rotors from ced.

well again you get what you pay for, a pair of rotors for $78 wont be made of the same material as one that goes for $120.

Any word on these rotors? I'm thinking about getting new rotors and was looking at these. Do they rust like the stockers and/or are they zinc plated? Or has anyone had success with any particular aftermarket rotors?
