Clockwork is on a distinguished road
search not working - WHO is OE manufacturer of front rotors?

Hi guys. I need to buy new front rotors as since I put some new Centric high carbon rotors on last summer, I must have heated them tooo much during the bed in procedure with them and the Cool Carbon new pads. Ever since they have had a shimmy. I replaced the Cool Carbon brake pads for OE pads again and find better stopping power again (ahhhhhh) and now I want to buy factory rotors again, but I can't search on Xoutpost who manufacturers the OE rotors... I see Zimmerman is the popular choice on sellers websites for OE brands, but just wanted to double check as some say its ATE and some also say Centric as OE makers... Anyone know for certain whom it is?

I think they are special order Brembo. I say special order (BMW) because the BMW branded rotors have a rust proof coating, whereas the "regular" Brembos don't. I could be wrong though.
