Hey MaeCclass! i hope you didn't put new tires on! I know why your tire looks like that!!!!! i just did it to my two front tires today when I lowered my car!!! 
your tire is rubbing against the coilover like the bottom of the spring thats exactly what my two front tires looks like now...

yes..www.r1concepts.com they don't have oem ones but they have theirs that they make that fit the c32 but they only come in premium not eline. premiums are bomb tho. look like a BBK rotor too really agressive.

just did my front and rear rotors and posiquiet pads and im happy with it. found my front driver side tire cracked half of the tire. brakes feel the same as stock with less dust.got the brakes from paypaboi gave me a good deal on the brakes, also just installed my toyos proxy 4 and did service b. But decided to run on stock wheels never really driven the car stock cause lowered and put on the wheels when the car only had 48 miles. Now car is running smooth no vibrations in front wheels.
Thanks.

yes i do have the eline rotors and they work good. i havent wash my car to see how much dust the pad would give, and suprisingly looks that same as when i put my brakes on. rotors are quiet no squeeks and pad on normal barking is fine but ion hard braking needs a little more pressure ill post pics of the wheels and brakes after a month

Here are pics of my wheels and brakes after a month also haven't wash the car since i installed my brakes just to see how much dust will the new pads will give. Its is 95% less than oem. first 2 pics are rear wheels and still finger prints from the time installed my brakes.

so this didnt make sense when you guys first talked about what rotors come which way...on the website you can click any for any line...but you guys are saying for the E-line only drilled in front and drilled+slot in rear and for premiums its whatever for both front and rear? or are you saying that no matter what R1 only drills front rotors (even though they advertise otherwise) and can do drill+slot on rear?

I've seen slotted on the c230 before, so how come they can't do it and others can? and does anyone know the weight comparison b/n oem front and rear and R1 Front and rear, rotors?
