Ebc brake rotors

Hey guys,
I need new brake rotors because mine are gouged. I was looking at EBC brake rotors, specifically part number USR7010 and USR7077. Front and rear respectively. I was wondering if these are bigger rotors than the stock rotors. If I buy these, will I need to buy new wheels as well. The front EBC rotors are 12.8 inches and the rears are 12.0 inches. Any information would be helpful.
Thank you.

Stock rotors are 12.8 and 12.0, so they should fit fine. Have not tried these, but other EBC brake components I've used have always been absolutely top notch.

Thanks redzg. The ones I'm looking at buying are slotted and black in color.

I'm running the EBC slotted black rotors on my Z06. So far they are great. I had put a set of Powerstops on and they were so warped out of the box that I sent them back. Got the EBCs after that. I don't have factory wheels, but they are factory size for the car. Not sure what the part numbers are.

The black abrades off the rotor swept areas, of course, but if the hats and edges stayed black that would be terrific -- 50thz06, how do your rotors look after some use? And what part of LA? I travel from Orlando to Troy/Montgomery far too often...
For reasons I can not explain, Home Depot (yes, Home Depot) lists the fronts for $207

I only have maybe 1,000 miles or so on them so far, but they have remained black for the most part. Of course, how dirty they get is another story, just like any rotor, brake dust, etc., but overall they look better than not being black, in my opinion. I live near Troy, from Clearwater, FL area. That HD price might be a good price. I bought mine as a 4 wheel kit with pads from Autohance.com, seems like I paid about $500 shipped.

Use their kits on my daily drivers(AP on Vet) and I am very pleased. Tried Centric on wife's SRX, made by Stop Tech and they failed in less than a year, voids in the casting in the sweep area, junk imo. Most are made in China, store brands, bosch, centric, etc. Will continue to use EBC, not much more money and not made in China.

I haven't used them on the Z yet, but I have used them on numerous other vehicles since 2000 with great results. Their Green pads which I've used about 10 times now work great for daily driving, but they do have Yellow pads for street/track, Red ceramic for street with low dust and Blue for track only. I currently have their plain rotors and Green pads on my ZR2 Blazer and their doing well, nice even wear and excellent stopping power. For a vette I would use their slotted rotors and Red or Yellow pads although Green would do well if you don't do repeated hard braking like track use.
