Cast iron can be black but when you break it, the break line is still with metallic flakes...

now, if the material was not metal, then it could be of a color - do they make rotors from anything other then metal? like the pads, ceramic compound, perhaps? or some kind of NASA space fiber???:dunno:

^^^^Term is Correct....upon purchasing the Rotors n pads i had the option of either choosing silver or black rotors.....with silver it will NOT look good on the blackedout look...the black is coated all around as you wear the rotors out,what the pads are touching or rubbing against will be the ONLY thing that will be silver and all others will be black coat...here is the site as RickiBobby Requested where i bought my rotors and pads $450 shipped to my door 5days wait period....

Frazer.Finally man!!!...i am excited now!!!!....you know how to get in touch with me brother.:driver::2thumbs::wow::wow:

I kinda figured that was the case... When I replaced my rotors, they were coated everywhere but the face. Looks great though!!

Yeah these new rotors get the coating usually on the whole rotor then the first few scrapes of the pad wears contact surface coating off but it shouldn't really rust as much either right?

I kinda wish the previous owner didnt do new rotors and pads before I bought the car, I'd like to go with the "reduced rust" coated slotted rotors and some nice Hawk Pads, would get my rotors from here adam's rotors | custom brake rotors, made-to-order

Rb..I seen those i was debating that Adams or the aftermarket.....and i think they are just both the same just different style but both do same thing,stop dust..

X5snd....yes..now they look awesome!...

Enjoying the X in this nice weather
