NO, I don't have them myself. Thats why I said that I can't vouch for their durability. But they sure look nice and will drop about 3 lbs off each corner, IIRC. I don't think that that price is bad at all either.

My only concern with aluminum is heat from the brake rotor. At temperature the Al is going to expand more than steel, which will loosen up the press fit and preload on the bearings. Also, the AL is also going to conduct heat better than steel, which means the grease will see higher temps. I would also think that anealing would be more of a concern as well.

Are the Ed Millers steel or cast iron? Does he make them from billet or does he just cut off the rotor from stock brake rotors?
