Do the Centric rotors have any type of anti-corrosive coating on the hats and vanes?

That would honestly be the only difference I could see(if the Centrics even have that).

It's a nice perk. I plan on replacing my OEM rotors soon, and I'll definitely be going with rotors that have a zinc/protective coating.

Oem rotors from honda are much more expensive then centric rotors. Centric makes great oem replacement rotors and I would pick up a set to replace your oems. Check out tire rack or honsport.com for centrics.

well, it turns out that OEM's are ~50% more than Centric's Premiums - so i went for Centrics.

You'd only be throwing money away to buy OEM over Centric's

talking about throwing money away on rotors - good thing that i learned a long time ago that plain stock is the best over all this drilled/slotted expensive cracking crap.

for street driving, Centrics are plenty good. for a track car or racing, i do not recomend them.
