It would be sick to have black rotors but im guessing it would wear away and look retarded. Any input?

[Dominicano]

still would look hot escpecially the parts that the pads do not touch

man, black plating? i wouldn't trust that. it's getting loads of pressure from a brake pad, nothing can really resist that. would look stupid

[Danger DANJ]

There is no doubt that the plating would wear off where the pads touch, but everything else would stay pretty much plated and help keep those parts of the rotors from rusting. My DBA cross drilled and slotted rotors were gold zinc plated, but where the pad touches, it's just silver now. The rest of the rotor is still somewhat plated and has not rusted too much. The hubs are still rustless, but other parts are not.

Here are my rotors after installation



And here is a pic where you can see where some of the rotor gets rusty. It's hard to see in that pic, but the hub is not rusted.

The rotora rotors come with a black coating and they have a slight black tint to the face of the rotor too...
