For street use, you can get away with cheap rotors, but if you plan on stressing them, get some good quality rotors.
Well since my home track is CoTA -- I'll know pretty soon -- but in the big scheme of things $175 is a cheap experiment.

Will let folks know how they do throughout next year.

I'm sure your Meyles will be fine, they are a known quality supplier. My $100 eBay specials are no-name-cheap-made-in-China specials.
