in nz i suspect that you couldnt get a cert with them at all. no brake mods like that are legal without a cert anyway. but the cert rules are thorough and fussy. no "no bov" rules though, thats just gay.

After discussing with the workshop guys as well as a mate owns an engineering/fabrication facility, it was either 8mm steel plate powder coated. I've seen what happens to powder coating in track conditions with heat cycling from braking. It's not pretty and can actually go up in flames. If it starts running, you'll have a hell of a time getting it off.
powder coating is fully the wrong way to go for a brake/wheel application, at least traditional plastic powder. i don't understand why you care about surface rust on them, but if you do, some high temp zinc paint on all the non machine surfaces would stop them corroding, as a bonus, if it gets really hot, good zinc paint melts and galvanises the part :-)

They do not list the inside diameter unfortunately. However, it would seem that the material around the hub is 7mm in thickness.
by that do you mean that they DO list the OD of the hub section?

(thinking from a browsing a catalog for rotor options for the ute without access to touching them physically with a vernier)
