I am checking with Sicom about possible refurbish of my used O.E. rotors.

Correct. Due do different type of carbon construction ST can't refurbish OE rotors.

So why is sicom specifically advertising their pccb refurbishment service here? They specifically show worn Pccb rotors from a 997 gt2 getting refurbished.

So I had my rotors looked at and measured. See measurements and comparison to April. Minimal decrease in all measurements. Still well above the wear limit and recommended limit. The pads are ok as well, just some heat changes noted. Looks like I have a way to go before rotors need replacement.

What's the estimated track mileage at each measurement point?

Glad everything turned OK.

Like I said, nothing to worry about.

Updated with SanDiegoDavid's data, averaging all points. Fronts are wearing much slower than rears for David, relatively lower wear overall:

Pretty impressive. Just to be straight total full tracks days on rotors are 17 ?

Yes, 17 full track days with one AutoX, almost 1,700 miles.

do you know if 19" wheels will fit over the PCCB rotors and calipers?
I have an allocation for RS and am torn whether to spec the PCCB or not, though it seems the Gen 3 PPCB from the 918 is much improved and so for the $10 k option, it may be worth it.

Yes, but...

The clearance is so tight that rocks get stuck between the calipers and barrels. The guy I know running them has scored the inside of his barrels significantly. Not recommended...
