Me too, little too cheesy for me.

Before you order anything from phat, make dammed sure they are what you want because returns can be a major pita. IMO, the HD ones are very nice and a good value unless you just HAVE to have bling.

I went with them and think they look OK with my stock wheels... BTW: I have stock Fatbob rotors for sale.

DNA Rotors from eBay are pretty nice and affordable, around sixty dollars each.

Thanks WS6! I was looking at those DNA rotors, price is too good to be true, how long do you have them? Any issue? That's exactly the style I am looking for, match my laced wheels. Thanks!

I had them on for about a year, they look the same, of course there no longer polished where the pads contact the rotors, and I haven't had any issues............

Thanks a lot Everyone!
Yes WS6, if the polished surface stays shinny the bike won't stop!
