Default Rotor/hub covers ???

Anyone know where to get a set of these for a better price??? $199.00 sucks.

Have not seen them before, price does seem steep. For $50 more you can get a set or 4 Sportbrakes rotors.

I only need the rears (in black). If anyone wants just the fronts, I'll split the cost and even pay the shipping to get them to you.

If you check out today's prices on chrome plating, price isn't that bad IMO.

But most of the price doesn't represent plating cost. They sell them in powder coated black for $149.99. At that price delta, their plating is actually quite reasonable.

I see that they also have added unfinished ones for $89.99 for anyone wanting to DIY paint them or send them out to be plated/coated.

Now... a separate question. Has anyone actually had a good purchase experience with Ecklers recently? I've never dealt with them, but they have gotten a lot of negative feedback in the forum recently.

Will these things fit over aftermarket rotors?? Everywhere I look, they all say "fits stock rotors without modification" or " fits factory rotors only" I have Rotorpros rotors. Will they work?

I've had to order from Ecklers about 3 times in the last month or so because they had things nobody else had. They have not failed me yet, but if you have a question about a product and email them about something, don't expect a reply. 3 or 4 emailed questions to date. 0 replies.

Very iffy - for example, if one uses a beveled edge and the other has a radiused edge. You will need to compare the hub profile between stock and those Rotorpros jobbies. Come to think of it, I have a set of stock fronts in my garage. I'll be glad to make a cardboard template and mail it to you, if it would help. PM me your address if you are interested.

Thanks. That's a lot of effort on your part. How about just a pic of the OEM rotors? I might be able to tell from that.
