mounted to a machined drum?
Cheers

Hi
They look like Porsche 914 rotors, you would also need callipers and brackets as well.

I just spoke to shermans, He has a set of rear rotors for 300 bucks... Or he has the whole kit for $880, the ea route... any links. I have done
various readings but cannot decide. Shermans have a solid rotor that i can use and is custom made... but apparently the others have the four ribs and
may cause some issue if i decide to use porsche wheels ( five holes and four ribs?)? I can see the Empi ones all aver the US for under $400 but
anything here and the cheapest is about $580

Tapping 4 lug rotors for 5 lug is a bad move
no engineer would pass that and insurance would wipe you big time in an accident
My rota bug had porsche rims fitted by tapping 4 lug brakes
3 out of 5 holes only had 3-4 threads each
Just get some uniform thickness blanks
