Found this note for Rear Rotors:

1. Rear ~ NEW STYLE BRAKE DISC WITH THIN HIGH TENSILE SHEET STEEL HUB. HANDLE WITH CARE! DO NOT PICK UP AT THE HUB. FOLLOW INCLUDED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. w/ Sport Package Code 951

Can someone explain what they mean "Do Not Pick Up at the Hub?"

Also, are these the OEM TPMS Sensors? On average, how long do the Sensor(s) / Batteries last? I plan on getting rims re-finished and figured while the Tires are off to replace them. Car Purchased 1/2014

Schrader Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor; 433MHz

U should be good w the sensors they last years. I know where u can get a new set for like 50 if you need...didnt the set from me have them also?

They want you to pick it up with both hands on the outer parts of the rotor (covered in latex/nitrile so as to not contaminate the rotor) and not pick it up by the floating hub.

Yes. I have my original Rims being sent out and new set of Shoes on them. Detroit Wheel and tire has best pricing, but they farm out 90% of the work. The Black Chrome PVD is a little darker than I would like, so I'm going to give AmericanPVD a try. They do all the work inhouse. The Onyx color is closer to what I am looking for. I know you mentioned Al's for mounting tires. 1800 50 Tires in Valley Stream did damage to several rims, not to mention the workers have no idea how to use the Hunter machine nor what a torque wrench is. I don't mind paying a bit extra for my OCD.

Only the AMG Ceramic Rotors have a floating hub. The S550 is all one piece design....

The note OP got with his rotors stated "a high tensile strength hub." SInce the rotors are not of a high tensile strength material, the hub and rotor are separate pieces.
