Front Steel Rotor Replacement OEM, Sebro or Zimmerman?

Not looking for any performance gains, just need a new set of front rotors...
Anyone have any experience on this car with anything other than OEM?
Should I just stick with OEM?

Thanks for the input.

Sonnen, Sunset, or Suncoast. Genuine Porsche are inexpensive.

As I understand it, after some research, the OEM discs are SHW for the turbo, and these are not available aftermarket anywhere at all.

OEM are pretty good, although they will eventually warp and/or crack under hard road use (to the 5mm maximum permitted). Mine at 10k were both. But/and I always views discs as consumables.
