    Has anyone used the brake rotors available on eBay from TriNet? I noticed that they offer a black plating. Would look pretty trick in a custom brake setup with some candy red painted calipers and black wheels ;)

    Will this black plating wear off?
    Will the plating affect the performance of the brake system?

    The plating will wear off the braking surface.

    it will wear off after a while as wheat said. I had similar brakes on my TL. It sure does smell horrible for the first few hours though.....haha!
