Default would you buy these for your z??

surfing the net and ran across these rotors tried to do a search on them in the fourm nada! so i am posting a poll in the modification section and wanted to know also what you other z owners in the nor cal region think about them so here is a pic tell me what you think. I think they are cool and i am strongly considering buying.

What company makes them? If there is substantial quality behind the make, it would be a very unique buy

they do look cool! But I don't think they really serve much for cooling purposes, for example the slots.

If your just going for aesthetics then its cool.

The only thing I'd be wondering is quality also. It would be bad to have them crack or something while going on them hard. It is pretty cool looking though.

hahaa... sorry to burst your bubble... but i meant someone who can install for me. i don't trust myself with brakes. its one thing installing an intake or front lip, but it totally different on brakes. i'm scared that if i mess up i won't be able to stop and i'll be crashing into everyone and everything.

and i don't really DIY, Les does most the installs. i just think of them, buy them, and am more of an assistant to Les during installs.
