Anyone care to explain these rotors?
Looking at the brake rotors on this TF. Wondering why they are built this way. Cooling?

Re: Anyone care to explain these rotors?
The ones behind the Foose pimp my ride wheels? Probably advertised for cooling but they sure don't look to have a lot of contact surface. Truth be known they are more likely done that way for the "hay Bubba look at dees brake rotors" effect.
Looking for "custom brake rotors" on Ebay they resemble what you see for motorcycles from some vendors. They have them with all sorts of cutouts and designs in them.
