Balo X drilled for rear of C32

I am selling a pair of cross drilled Balo rotors for the rear of my C32AMG brand new, never used I ordered the rotors about 1 mo ago and have not installed them because I got a great offer on the car and sold it.
<they fit an 02 model>
These rotors are now useless to me...

positive, I have them in my possession, I had them custom drilled by a performance brake place to match the fronts, w/ a 3 hole pattern all the way around. Still in box and special anti corrosion wrapping paper.

that is correct they were drilled by an aftermarket company & they did a good job, as for throwing them in the trash.. that would be rather foolish.

it'll be hard to sell those. Doesn't matter who drilled it for you or if they did a nice job or not. The after market drilled brake rotor will crack after short period of use.

It's just like selling a modded car, would you want to pay more because it's modded? The modding actually lowers the value of the car.

frank's right, that's why i said throw 'em away.... those rotors are ruined and there's a very good chance they will crack under hard braking or sudden changes in temperature: ie. spill water on em when they're hot.
look at a set of pre-drilled rotors and normal ones and you'll notice that the holes are aligned with the channels in between and the channels are curved kind of like the 3-hole pattern. on a regular rotor channels are straight and drilling will not help cool but will also make it weaker.
