They make those for bikes, i've never seen it on a car. I don't know if it's cool or what. I believe the concept is for weight reduction but I'm not sure

they're called wave rotors.. the theory is to discipate the heat created from friction outwards while being much lighter so you have less rotating mass. they do work, but a good slotted rotor with a large surface area would suit street use better.

they look P-I-M-P though!

less weight is nice but you usually want more when it comes to rotors.

more mass = greater thermal capactiy = less fade

i doubt those have any performance benefits over a good quality aftermarket round rotor.

Those are made to stop less mass, like a bike.

I believe Shepherd uses those on his car. One of my friends showed me a pic of them on his car over the summer from the shootout.

good enough for John Sheperd, good enough for me. He has them, they are made by "the brake guy". I haven't seen his website but if they are good enough to assist stopping a high 8 second car then i'd say they aren't to shabby. Follow this url for some useful knowledge. http://www.ricks2k.com/info/instructions/ROTORS.pdf

Shep only stops once per race, though. One stop from ludicrous speed followed by a 30-90 minute break isn't too hard on brakes. I bet that those would fade in NO time flat.
