Default Rotor crack

Here is a picure of just one of my rotors. Each one does have similar crack in it. Small but there. Is this common on C5's?

Probably not a good idea to track the car with rotors like this. ugh.

Don't drive that car until those are fixed. I've seen rotors come apart before ... not pretty.

They are trashed!! They can and will fracture worse and come apart!

Get a set of "SLOTTED" rotors or if you dont want anything fancy NAPA has some really nice OEM style rotors and they are very reasonable!! Get their PREMINUM Rotors!!

Whose rotors are those?
I just replace mine last week for that reason. They were the GM drilled slotted.
I replaced with TPS drilled slotted. I like the look. I don't track the car.
