    I'm in the market for new front rotors for my 06 636, but I can't justify spending the amount of money oem or name brand aftermarket companies want for what basically equates to a flat piece of steel in a circle shape with holes in it. Not at my lower to mid pack intermediate pace, anyway.

    Has anyone ever tried these aftemarket ebay rotors?

    Brakes are pretty important... That being said, going the cheap route on a rotor is not favorable IMHO. You're not only putting yourself at risk, but the other lower/mid pack Intermediates *like myself*.
    Personally, I'd appreciate you spending the extra $ on quality aftermarket or OEM. I'd do it for my fellow rider, and myself.

    Rant over.

    I have a good set of used rotors that had the gold centers I painted them black.
    I will guarantee there straight and just honed them so there ready to go. I will ship them to you for $100 if your interested.
