Chrome Brakes (not actually chrome, just a company name)
 
I ran into these earlier. I think the colored ones look a bit ricey, but I'm not here to find out how ricey you think they are. Does anyone have experience with these?

Wouldn't that coating over the brakes make them kind of unsafe till it wears off? Looks kind of like a hazard to me.

I'm sure the coating will disappear with regular brake usage. I think it's cool to have outer edge with colors.

Cross drilled rotors are probably not what you want, they are generally for show. The color coating wears off immediately where you have pad contact.

Its likely that the pad wont cover the entire surface area of the rotor, and then you will have a stupid looking colored outline around the perimiter of your rotor. Whoever came up with this idea isnt very smart....
