Has anyone used these new Carquest-branded Platinum rotors? I'm shopping for parts for an upcoming brake job and these are the only ones Advance now offers for my Cruze. After discount code they'd be $35 each.
It appears the hat and edge are painted, but I don't know if they also paint the inside of the hat. The description makes me think they aren't painted down in the rotor vanes.
Advance Auto released these new rotors in the last few month. They're branding them "Carquest", even though they're available at both Carquest and Advance locations. It appears they've done this with maybe all of their rotor lines now.
