Wow, mine are used and look better than those. I'm pretty sure they aren't new...

There is printed lettering on the rotor. There is no way that would stay on if they were used.

Couldn't it be printed before being sold?

i have no doubt that they are new. but are they serviceable. looks like somebody played forklift hockey with them in the warehouse. you would think for what we pay for rotors you would get something that at least looked new.

My guess, the scrapes are from another rotor that was against it during shipping. The off coloring is just steel being steel, and them sitting in a warehouse for some time...

Hey....if you have six months to wait, call Evosport. Well, maybe you should allow for a year.

I would recommend ordering and running the P031 two piece fronts.

What your seeing is just the coating on the rotors, the rest of it will be removed onced installed and you brake for the first time. This actually is one of the ways you are assured that your getting new rotors. I would be more concerned if you ordered from the dealer and it didn't have this coating on it.

Unfortunately, these are how the rotors come from the OEM. The are coated by a rust inhibitor, that's the gray coat. There is nothing wrong with these rotors in my opinion, and I would put them on my car.

Those are the original manufacturers of the 2-piece rotors currently available on the market ...

Yea I looked at there website but couldn't tell if they were the same and the pricing really didn't match. Can or as anyone purchase 2-piece rotors through them instead of evosport? They might have better stock and prices.

There is another company called www.racingbrake.com that offers two piece rotors for the C63 and E63.

I have looked at my rotors when car was brand new and I remember seeing imperfections on the outer edge of the rotors like the second picture. It is what it is I guess.

There's nothing wrong with these rotors, these are fine. This is what the rotors look like from the factory. Every rotor will have some small imperfections. Their not $6K carbon ceramic rotors

Give us your honest assessment of these rotors, pictures, weights, etc. As more owners might consider these over the OEM.

Hopefully, he will have some good feedback for the rest of us, that our interested in these brakes. If the outcome is favorable, I might buy a set for my E63. Although I still favor the evosport, but the waiting time is like forever
