Default Are these rotors due for replacement

Hi guys, does anyone know if my car is due for new rotors just by looking at these pictures? I have to change all pads, so if the rotors are due might as well change them as well
Thanks a bunch!

^^exactly like that!

Op - those grooves are normal with our rotors; as is the lip. If you change just the pads you'll have to make sure you bed them properly so they'll seat with your grooved rotors. The minimum thickness is stamped on your rotor incase you need further reference.

haha I save all my old rotors in case I need to trash a set on a track day. I know the dealer has replaced them with some meat on the old ones still

i replaced my rotors and pads. The old rotors are still sitting on the garage floor waiting to be measured. I am pretty sure they are still good but will know once i measured them...

plus dont pay a mechanic to work your brakes.... These are the easiest brakes to swap out.

Just looking at them? Not even close. Probably have 1.5mm to go at least.
