Any feedback on these? I need a new rear disc and these are lower in cost (and cooler looking !) than the stock ones.

I have one in the back.It is a bit difficult to install them if you have ABS,
due to the ABS ring.I drilled the rivet heads and pushed them as far back as i culd.Then cut the rivets in two with a hacksaw,and removed them
bit by bit.There are no room for the nuts and bolts that comes with the
disk.I found out that the rivets were 5 mm,so the holes were perfect
for making 6 mm treads.Then i found some counter sunk bolts and installed the disk with them (with locktite).The disk has been working great for the last 35k km.
