I just got new rims on my '07 G35 and the OEM Rotors have a rusted ring that's visible. Can anyone give a good idea on pricing and where to find some good aftermarket rotors and calipers? I'm not looking to spend $1,500 or anything, but was wondering what I'd cost and if it's worth messing with? Perhaps just get new pads and call it good? Thanks in advance for the help.



Rusted ring....two thumbs down =(

 

Look into Stoptech rotors and PosiQuiet pads.
about $500-$600.
Ive had them for about 6 months, look great and havent shown signs of rusting.

 

If your OEM rotors still have enough thickness, have them turned and then spray everything but the area where the pads rub w/ VHT flameproof paint, they have several colors and to cure it you just go through a few cycles of heavy braking to bake it on. Just tape off about 1/4" up into the pad area so you'll get a nice even ring once the pads scrape off the paint, you just don't want to paint the whole rotor as teh pads may get glazed if you get that whole area painted.
Here's mine before the pads scraped it off



And after, all cleaned from the pad contact

 

When I upgrade my BBK I will be selling my akebono for $1200. Slotted rotors, calipers and maybe front pads

 

Do you have a photo by chance? Not sure what I'm getting myself into here. I'm mainly looking for an aesthetic upgrade.

It is a fancy shiny upgrade that really doesn't upgrade your performance for daily driving.

Just remove your rotors and calipers and paint them with high temperature paint (after a good sanding and primer). Use a similar style of painting the rotor hat up to the pad line and you will get a nice even finish all the way around.
