Thats just down right disrespectful.

If you think that some Japanese or Chinese businessman took a 2-piece rotor of an old American car, researched the market for the part and then began producing something this specific just for the purpose of ripping off Americans you're totally wrong. Like I said, I challenge any of you to produce this rotor in an American market, sell it for cheaper than Jeff does and still turn a profit. Breaking even does not count.

I am thankful that somebody finally reproduces these 2 piece rotors. I've been collecting "thin" ones for years.
Anybody need some hard to find 2-piece paperweights?
I'll sell them cheap but the shipping will kill you!

A simple solution, since the back half rarely wears out, would be to manufacture only the rotor half and replace just that part. The rotor could be turned after being mounted on the hub to make everything true. I've replaced a lot of rotor hats on 4 wheel drive trucks and swedged new studs in them so I know it's not all that hard. Wouldn't be that different on one of those old hubs. It's not like re-inventing the wheel or anything.....

I have shipped FOUR OEM GM C5 Corvette rotors in the US Postal large FLAT RATE box for $15... 67 pounds worth

your rotors should fit in their large box, if only one at a a time, but that still puts the cap on of $30 for both

Dan, I give you credit for speaking your mind. Maybe not always agreeing but glad the young people of America are standing up to be counted. You to Tommy M. Speak up, its America. There are hundreds of issues like this one that need to be addressed in our country.

I thank you for your support. Diversity is one cause that makes this country so great. We don't always have to agree, nor should we always but as long as we can understand and respect each other we're all fine by me.

And to add some more color to this conversation- has anyone been following the protectionist movement Obama has set forth against Chinese tires? His protectionist action stop the dumping of cheap tires in US markets. Some agree/disagree but for those supporters of this plan, Obama is very much protecting the American tire manufacturing industry which has been ailing since 2000.
