I think I'm going to upgrade to drilled or dimpled rotors. Since my car is Graphite with stock chrome rims, I figured drilled rotors with a brass or gold color might look pretty sharp. I see that Parts Rack has a set four for a reasonable price from EBC. Does anyone in the forum have these on their car or heard about them? I've seen a few cars with the drilled chrome finish and think it looks good. However, I'm thinking that dimpled rotors eventually lose their dimples after they've been turned once or twice. Does anyone make the gold colored drilled rotors at a reasonable price. I've seen Brembo ads but don't feel like paying 3K for a cosmetic upgrade. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.

The EBC rotors are cheap and look pretty decent. The Stoptech rotors are probably the best cooling 1-piece, but get slotted only. 2 piece rotors are the prettiest, but don't waste money on any kind of coating or wash - it gets burned off anyway. Slotted rotors are really the best way to go - cross drilled ones look cool but aren't typically as strong unless they're cast that way.
