Default Help Identifying Rotor?

I've been looking everywhere and have not been able to track down who makes this rotor, but it has a very unique design.

Front of a C5.

Any takers?

I'm pretty sure that's an ATE. I think its German made, I've used their parts repairing VW brakes.

That's an ATE alright. Tire Rack sells them and they're a pretty good rotor for the price. The centers are coated with something that doesn't rust even after they've been on the car quite awhile.

Fantastic. I went through one of them at the track when I destroyed my brake pad. Thanks for identifying it for me!

I really liked them and so I'm going to go back to them. It looks like they are discontinued though... and some people say they are universal and others say there is a "front right" and "front left" version. (Tire Rack says they have only Front Rights left) Anyone have experience can vouch for it?

I think I'm in for a rollercoaster, but I think I'm going to buy 2 "front Rights" because I think they are universal and 2 rears.
