anyone try ebay rotors?

ive seen a few different types of brake rotors on ebay ranging from 200 bucks fro front and back to 600 bucks front and back. Ive looked at Brembo but they only have the front it driled and slotted. I was looking at maybe getting some online on ebay. Anyone ever here anything about any of these companies? disk italia, centric, powerslot, irtors?? or can someone recomend a good rotor? im looking for rotors for my 04 3.0 z4 non M. the ones on their sites look good and zink plated aka some shiny stuff that will probably wear off in a month but the prices just seem too good to be true. Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

Try Baer or Wilwood. I've never heard of the other places.

I would go with Brembo, Ate, EBC or Powerslot rotors. Any of those other "ebay rotors" are most likely OEM blanks that have been drilled and/or slotted.

I've run the EBC slotted and dimpled before on my Jetta and love them. I ran OEM slotted rotors after and wasn't too pleased with them. Currently my Jetta is running Powerslot rotors and they are quite nice.
