The centrics (G3K) are from Taiwan not china and they're every bit as good as the OEM ones.

Hmm. Another guy I know had a problem with them cracking. And I've never cracked an OEM rotor but I did just crack a G3000. Apocryphal data, but still....

All my OEM rotors failed the same way: surface cracks grew deep enough to make the vibrations unacceptible. The G3000, on the other hand, cracked all the way through.

Like I said, my experience was purely apocryphal.

Here you go krazik :

apocryphal - adjective - a story or statement of doubtful authenticity, although widely circulated as being true

I haven't weighed them, but they can't be more than a few oz heavier.

More apocryphal evidence - I've cracked almost every G3000 rotor I've had, and only 1 OEM rotor, and like mike said the G3000 has cracked completely through the rotor...
