FYI for all.....
....
And as others have said they are identical to the OEM rotors. And I really like the fact that they paint the center hub portion black, because on the OEM rotors they were all bare metal and the area around the hub tends to rust. When I replaced the last set on my truck I actually had to paint the hub portion black so I'm glad these came pre-painted.

^^ I agree, the black hubs on these rotors is a nice touch compared to the rusty look of the OEM rotors.
I haven't had a chance to track the F with these rotors as of yet but my initial impressions for street driving are really good. Along with the Project Mu pads it seems to be a winning combination.

I'm not sure you guys realize this... BUT the OEM Brembo Rotor hubs are painted black as well...
The "rusty look" usually occurs after repeated miles of usuage, washing, rain, brake dust.. Etc.. Etc..
They will ALL develop a "rusty look" in due time....

Wow, mine must have been extremely rusted out because I would have never guessed that the hats (the hub portion) were originally black! On my truck rotors which I painted black myself, the hats are still black and showing no rust after about 60K miles.
And JoeZ - I assume the pics you posted are of a new set of OEM rotos? If so then the hats on those aren't painted as dark as the Raybestos rotors because I can barely tell if those are painted or not.
