Is it me or do the rotors look like they are grooved?

Rotors have shown abnormal wear, so they are grooved, but there is still good life left in them and are doing an excelent job of slowing the car down.

If the car does not sell I was going to take it to a Driver Ed, finish off the rotors and replace them.

Suggestion: get new rotors before taking it to a Driver's Ed. The track is NOT the place to "finish off the rotors."

The grooving seen in your rotors is typical of what I've seen on most cross-drilled rotors. Another reason why I'm a big advocate of solid vented rotors.

There is enough life left in them that I'm really not worried about them at the track.

I too like solid rotors, but that is not an option with these brakes, you have your choice of cross drilled, or cryo treated cross drilled, and thats it.

Those wheels really do update the look of these cars. I am going to consider those when I eventually upgrade. Best of luck with the sale.

Its odd but ebay can be used as a good gauge for the popularity of different OEM porsche wheels. I've noticed that these particular wheels have been going for more and more money, while the other boxster twists go for very little.

Still OEM wheels on ebay can be had for a song if you spend some time shopping.....
