Welp,

I went ahead and ordered rotors on all 4 corners from iRotors.com and gonna get them installed tomorrow with new pads. I don't know of anyone here that's used these on a W211 but I'll keep everyone posted. Here's some pics. Aren't they purdy? Oh, and it looks like the blanks start out made in Germany.

Are they cast with the holes, or are the holes drilled in them afterwards? If it's the latter, keep a close eye for cracking around the holes after heavy braking.

Otherwise, they look great!!

someone on the ML(W163) used them, and if I remember had nothing but good things to say about them...

on a second look it looks like the second one from the left is a completely different rotor then the other 4... looks bigger and looks like it has more holes?

Two fronts, and two rears.

I have them on my gf's C230K.....absolutely no complaints !

I'm glad you posted the side view image which proves that the vents are directional -- I hope your installer realizes that these [front] rotors are "Right", "Left".

I'm assuming that the rear rotors do not have directional vents, or do they?

Regards,

The 2 on the left are front and the 2 on the right are rear. The rear ones are much smaller and much lighter too.

The dealership is installing them for me so I hope they would know the difference. Plus the boxes are marked L+R. And no, the rears do not have directional vents.

After doing a little more research, it appears that people are actually liking these things. I don't track the car and only make occasional panic stops to keep from killing the deer in my hood so hopefully these suit my needs perfectly.

Thanks for the update, and good luck with the rotors. What did you use for pads -- the OEM's (since you're getting them installed at a dealer)?

Regards,
paul...

Did you weight them by chance?

I didn't weigh them. I just sent the company an email though asking. I'll let you know.

Those rotors look mint Benz-O! I'm assuming these are not the BBKs? Please give us a review after the install.

how much were they? didn't see them on the iRotor website.

thanks

They are asking 399.00 plus shipping. There is a little "Make Offer" button on the auction. I offered 250.00 and they declined. I then offered 285.00 and they accepted. With shipping it was like 350.00.

Here we go.

You can't see much of the rotors with my stock fat 5 spokes on there but you get the gist. Once I put my summer wheels back on, it should look pretty good

E500 iRotor weights

Front - 19 lb each
Rear - 15.5 lb each

E55 iRotor weights

Front 33 lb each
Rear 21 lb each

Anyone know what the regular weight of the Merc rotors are?

i saw some posts that the stock 550 drilled rotors are the same as the e500 rotors

hey benzo, i had irotors and bought them through ebay, and no complaints, i later upgraded to Disk Italia brand from brakeworld.com, then after steve's last visit to hawaii, he convinced me that OEM AMG brakes was the way to go , and he so happened to have a set with rotors and spindles in cali waiting for me to buy them... damn , steve knows how to get me all the time...hehehe.

Hey man...

This is a pretty old thread that someone dug up. I had a horrible experience with these rotors. They warped severely within the first 4K miles. The company promptly told me to get bent after I contacted them.

OEM is the only way to go on these cars.
