Default New Rotors just for looks?

My question is this: Does anyone know of rotors that look better than the stock, like drilled, that don't cost a ton?

Im not interested in a big brake kit because I never track the car so I dont need huge brakes, I just want nicer looking rotors.

Thanks

EBC rotors. You can get them from Tire Rack.

They will be more functional than just looks to. Aftermarket rotors are normally cadmium coated inside and out. So, the hub and inner veins will not rust. This should help to keep your rims a little cleaner too. Now the braking surface will rust a little, but that is normal. Good luck with the rotors.

I got Rotera. They are slotted but not drilled. I heard that drilled rotors have tendancy to crack under extream heat/pressure.

They are very good quality. The guy at Rotera told me that they are also MADE HERE IN THE USA.

wicked4u2c (forum member) helped me get these rotors.
Why don't you PM him.

Just click here.

They're extremely expensive brand new. You can get better brakes for less money by buying other brands. Or you can go to the private classifieds and get lucky. Sometimes track owners sell their brembos setup to upgrade to aftermarket brakes. They're usually snatched up pretty quickly though.
