If they can withstand it... Pretty sure Centric blanks are about $200 for all four.

I've been tracking my E36 M3 using Advance cheap-o rotors since 2011 with zero issues. I've said this numerous times on this forum but there is absolutely no reason to buy anything else for street duty or even light track duty unless you want to look cool and throw money out the window. Just keep the receipt and if you start to develop cracks, take them back and get a new set.

Also, make sure to order online and take advantage of Advance Auto coupon codes. If you do two separate orders (fronts/rears or 1 front and 1 rear, ect) you can play with the totals to max out the coupons. $160 can easily drop to $100 or less if you do it right.

That can be easily fixed prior to install with a can of high temp clear coat
