I purchased a set of Baer eradispeed drilled and slotted rotors for my 06 C6 coupe. No sooner had I finished with the break-in procedure, one of the rotors cracked in three locations. No track use, and only braking per the Baer instructions. To add insult to injury, Baer would not replace the rotor under warranty.

Yes, they rust on the swept area but the remainder of the rotors maintain the zinc coating. No more rust drips on the inside of the wheels after washing.

File a Wikipedia reference-linkchargeback with your credit card company. That should get their (Baer's) attention. If a product can't be used for its intended and advertised purpose, it meets the criteria of "Product different from what was described or promised."

This happened almost a year ago and is water under the bridge. Just wanted folks to know that drilled rotors do crack from non-track use.
