I'd offer you my old EBC ones, I've not measured them but there must be plenty of meat left, but I'd not wish them on anyone! lol

Seeing as people who have EBC discs that aren't the pattern used by myself and others, I wonder if they changed the material when they came up with X and Contour discs? I'm sure if all their steel road discs had the rust issues that I've had, their reputation would be rock bottom!
The newer ones are better. I have both - the older pro lites with the blue carriers and 8 buttons on my wet wheels and then newer X discs with the gold/yellow carraires and 6 buttons and my slicks

The prolite's are rusty as hell, but it always cleans up. The newer X's on the other hand are much much better

No, you REALLY don't want them! Do you?? They're scabby, pitted, I'm sure they're warped, and they look like crap! Next time I'm back home I'll take some pics, but you'll probably only laugh! Or cry... lol
