New rotors installed

I replaced my Bear rotors with a set of new Bear 2 pice +1 rotors.
New

Old

I think that the larger 2 piece rears are a major improvement with the 20" wheels. (I didn't bother taking any pics of the fronts. New fronts are visable in the sig pic) Now all I have to do is wait for the new wheels to get here.

Looks much better.

Did you weigh them? Were the larger new ones heavier?

I didn't weigh them but the rears felt about the same but the front are a little heavier, approx. 2 pounds I would say.

How much of a PITA is it to keep those wheels clean? Are the little bolts on the outside hard to clean?

I really like em....

Fortunately, the car is not a daily driver so I have never had to get them dirty. I just blow the dust out of the bolt area with an air compressor and wipe the wheels down with a bit of spray detailer. However, I imagine that they would be a real PITA to keep clean if the car was used daily.
