I got my rotor shipment today. A vendor sent me these to fulfill my order. I'm not putting these on my Corvette. Would you put these on your Vette?

Default There's More...

Not only do all four have a different plating thickness and obvious appearance difference, but these features as well:

1) Rear rotors are each a different design.

2) The dull rear rotor is already corroded.

3) The shiny rotor has a chip in the plating.

I have emailed the vendor and I'm hoping/expecting that they will make things right. Maybe some newbie accidentally packed my order with rejects... pulled from the wrong stack or something.

I'd like to assume that most vendors want to stay in business and continue to sell their product. Unless all their rotors are this inconsistent (which I find hard to believe) they should be able to provide a matching set without defects.

Why do I suspect this falls into the "get what you pay for" category?
