Anyone try the cross drilled rotors on fleabay?

They have some realy nice looking sets from $150 - $300.

Should I be afraid of rotors for $150?

I bought from www.sportbrakes.com about $275 delivered.
Drilled/slotted, Zn coated...
Have 15+ K miles on them. They still look like new with no rust.

I installed them 2 weeks ago. they work great but don't use wheel cleaner on them. I used Mothers all wheal cleaner on my wheels and some dripped on the rotors and (tarnished them) turned them white.
Anyone have any suggestions on removing the tarnish.
