Brake rotors

Anyone have recommendations? Have after market wheels and can't stand to look at stock rotors. Look rusty, cheap and put off lots of dust. Any recommendations , pricing and pics?

Though I've never bought them, I've heard people going with Adam's Rotors. They seem pretty nice IMO

we carry some aftermarket rotors that are OEM sized direct replacements, and can come drilled, slotted, or both drilled/slotted

Can you also send me pics/quotes for a 2011 X5M? Drilled rotors preferred.

I picked up Stoptech cross-drilled rotors and Akebono Euro pads from Tirerack.com for my 2010 4.8 x-drive and I really like how they turned out. I painted my calipers while I was at it and they match the painted rotors really well.

Wow. They look amazing. How much did you pay for these if you don't mind sharing.

The rotors were about $140 each and the pads were about $70 for the front. Check out the Tirerack site, you can put in your model of vehicle and it will show you all the options for your particular vehicle. You can get slotted rotors too if you don't want the cross drilled ones. Also, the Akebono pads are nice and put out very little dust.
