well if you're going for looks, then I think you'll be fine with those rotors, I like the wheels, cross drilled rotors are known to crack under "performance" driving conditions

well the real question should be, What do plan to do with the wheel/tire/brake combo?
Is it just a street application, or are you plannin on racing the car at all. Like previously stated, if it's just for street/looks, I'm sure they're fine.

Why would you pay $275 for a set of front rotors when you can get cobra brakes that will alone look much better because they are bigger and they will provide better braking than factory brakes with upgraded rotors that are only slightly more expensive??? Cobra brakes get my vote. They will look much better than those.

I agree with teej - no need to get those rotors when there are other options and they are known to crack (and they don't improve performance at all compared to just slotted rotors- just ask cliffyk because im pretty sure he posted an article or something about it)

Also, I'm not a huge fan of the wheels, but I also don't know what color your car is. Then again its not my car, so if you like them, then get them man!

That's your opinion, he wants them for looks and you just can't beat the price/quality of Powerslot rotors. Also the ones I run look as good as new and had them for over 4 years and stop me fine in the 1320
