At the last auto x I was looking at a 996 with Zimmerman rotors. The "hats" of the rotors were rusty just like the guy described in that PCA Q&A Busmatti posted. Other than that they "look" just like my rotors but the rust does look terrible. When the time comes to replace mine I think I will call the dealership and pay extra for the OEM stuff.

We have both options on our site - http://www.epiqautosport.com/pro_boxster_rotors_front.php - and descriptions of what is what.
If you find a better price, know that we will do our best to match it. We try to place all of our pricing with Pelican, etc., but obviously serving only Boxsters means we have less volume and don't get the same discount rates.

145 per oem rotor Todd? I will definately be in touch with you on a purchase. My fronts already have a "lip" on the edge but I think they have a few miles left in them. No pulsations or wobble yet.

The base Boxster rotors are even cheaper - $125 per rotor.

Hi,
The appearance of a lip is not a good measure of whether your rotors are within spec or not. You need a micrometer (under $25 on eBay) and use it to check the rotor thickness in several places. These can also be machined at least once. The spec is:
- Front Rear
New 24mm (0.94 in.) 20mm (0.79 in.)
Wear Limit 22.6mm (0.89 in.) 18.6mm (0.73 in.)
Machining Limit 22mm (0.87 in.) 18mm (0.71 in.)
Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
