I'll be doing some track with them on stock pads, and provide some feedback.

Great. Thanks, ekam.
I just got off the phone with PF. They said the shipping weight for one of their Boxster S rotors is 22 pounds. The weight of the rotor itself is 18 pounds. I think that four pound difference is the hat, hardware and packaging. For reference, shipping weight of the Zimmerman rotor is 27 pounds.
Losing about six pounds per corner with PF rotors and about nine pounds per corner with OZ Alleggeritas would make a BIG difference.
Whatever rotors I do go with will be used year-round in CO. Can you tell me more about how and why you treated the hats? I would only use the PF rotors if the hats will last many years.
