We can probably do them without slots but that would be a special order. I think they look better with the slots though 
They hold up to rust REAL well BUT the firepath, which is where the pad hits WILL rust ON ALL rotors regardless of how expensive they are. The hats and the vents will not rust with our rotors.

Who else would like to upgrade their brake system? Here's a customer's email I just received who just installed the TPS Stage 2 Brake Upgrade Package which includes these rotors.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++
"Hi Mike
Had a chance to install the brakes (slotted rotors, hawk pads, stainless lines and Motul brake fluid) on my C5 last week, and after bedding them in took a cruise over the weekend. I am VERY happy with the performance! Much more stable pedal, much more predictable, and much easier to modulate before ABS kicks in. I took a 41 mile route that had many elevation changes, and lots of tight corners. The pavement was mostly dry, but there were some wet spots and the occaisional wet leaf deposit. The biggest thing I noticed about the brakes is that I didn't notice them, if that makes any sense. I was able to dive into the corners hard and concentrate on getting out again, with no real drama anywhere. The best part was that they were the same at the end as they were at the beginning. Made it real easy to drive.
Thanks for your recommendation, the quick delivery and most of all, the great product.
Kent"

I put these rotors and Hawk pads on last winter and they work great. Ran several HPDE events this summer and they performed flawlessly. Can't go wrong with these and great price and customer service, top notch.

I like the drilled look, but I dont like how they crack. The Dimples sound like a better alternative and still have the pokie dot look.
But since you can only see the outside of the rotor, could these be special ordered with just dimples on the outside? And would there be extra cost?
Do you know if the Black zinc hold up any longer than the bright zinc? I have bright zinc rotors, but after HPDE, I get some minor peeling around the hub. But you have to look close to see it.
Do you have a pic you can post of a Black zinc rotor with dimples after the zinc has worn off the brake surface?
Thanks
