Ok, well i believe i finally found a cure to my recent fumble on the rims. Took about an hour or so on 1 rim for a very noticable difference. Since the acids, corrosives, steel wool, sand paper, and ect ect weren't getting rid of it in any sizeable amount I thought i'd just power sand it since sanding it seemed to be doing the best out of all the forementioned methods. I used a couple of different grit 3m roll-lock discs since they are small; and with the gun i have it wasn't to hard to get into the tight spaces. There might be a gleam of hope left in these god forsaken rims afterall.

Well been kinda busy with other things lately, but here is a small update on slow progress.

Finally got the rims how I wanted them before paint. Have only had a chance to epoxy prime and 2k prime so far thou. Just a bit of wet sanding to go. Maybe here in a week or two ill be able to free up some time to shoot them.

Yeah what he^^^^^^^ said.

Can you get just slotted rotors?

The rotors are made in Canada by a company called roto-tech, I didn't see any i could get that were just slotted either cause those would probably be the ones i would have gotten. Took about 2 weeks to get them. I was planning on just getting factory style replacements but thought "what the hell, why not?" The only other thing I can say about the rotors is that they seem legit and I ordered them off of autopartswarehouse.com

actually these are it. The ones in the link above appear to be drilled in the pic but it doesn't say anything about them being drilled or slotted in the description
