most will tell you volks conversions.
just be aware that he has a habit of telling you a price then charging gst on top of this plus he may sting you on shipping.
also i did have a drum start to fail on the splines. was plenty tight (well me at 100kgs on 1 meter of pipe , if thats not tight enough its never going to be tight enough)

Cip1

Just make sure the rotor is uniform thickness all the way round.
The Volks Conversion ones are

Other "blanks" are blank stock rotors which actually have the 4 way web on the back, so when you do a 5 bolt conversion you are drilling into different thicknesses

Another good option is CSP

Available from CSP, Pierside and Cip1
