I wouldn't hesitate to use them. I've had pretty good success with Centric parts recently however. Prices are good and quality is acceptable. They do have coated rotors which are great in my opinion especially since they can be seen through the wheel openings.

 

Some "special"... For my 3.5d:

Special deal!
$ 65.95
(reg. $ 65.95)

 

The special is free shipping on Meyle rotors and on complete brake kits that include them. It's a significant savings when you consider how expensive rotors are to ship.

 

Where are these made? Not designed, not packaged, but actually made?

 

That's a real good deal, my friend. Especially shipped.

 

How do you handle warranty claims?

 

Well we haven't really had many to speak of on these. But our customer service department handles the warranty claims in house. We cover pretty much everything we sell for at least a year, these included.

 

I have used Meyle as well as Centric. Both are good products. What I liked most about Centric is that they do not have a shorter life which is what you would expect from the lower price.

 

Got them off eBay for $95 shipped for a pair. Damn, I think shipping itself costs like $35+, they are heavy... Package says they made in China, no surprise

Will see how they go, planning to install them on Monday-Tuesday when it will be warmer.

 

I found this in doing some research - FYI:

Unfortunately, there's no way to judge the quality of a rotor by its appearance alone. An economy rotor may appear to be nearly identical to a premium-quality rotor, but the metallurgy is often far different.

There are many different grades of cast iron, and some make much better brake rotors than others. The specific metallurgy affects its sound qualities, the hardness and wear-resistance of the rotor, and even its friction characteristics.

Some economy rotors also have thinner facings than standard or premium rotors to reduce weight and cost. The air gap between the two rotor faces is made wider to save several pounds of cast iron in the casting. This reduces the rotor's ability to absorb and dissipate heat, which also increases the risk of brake fade under hard use, rotor warping, cracking and rotor failure.

Another area where economy rotors cut corners is in the design of the cooling fins between the rotor faces. OEM engineers go to great lengths to design specific fin patterns for specific vehicle applications. The number of fins and how they are oriented affects how well the rotor can dissipate heat. An economy rotor may have fewer fins, or the fins may be unidirectional so fewer part numbers can fit a wider range of applications. But most premium rotors will follow the original equipment design and use the same number of fins and fin configuration to assure proper cooling. Replacing an OEM rotor that has 35 cooling vanes with an economy rotor that has only 28 fins may not seem like a big deal, but a 20 percent reduction in cooling capacity could make a big difference with prolonged heavy braking.

Many OEM rotors also have cooling vanes that are directional, so the right and left rotors are different. Directional rotors are designed to draw hot air away from the hub when rotating forward. Replacing directional rotors with unidirectional, straight vane rotors may cause a significant reduction in the venting and cooling of the brakes and hub.

Just my 2 cents worth.

I always use Meyle HD components for my X5 where I can get them, yes I replace them more often than I would with genuine BMW components but given the price and ease of swap out I am ok with this.

Meyle isn't a brand easily obtainable where I live so the biggest $ hot for me is on postage.
