R1 Premier Rotor w/ Air Bubble

[Denarli]

I got this set of R1 Concepts Premier rotors from R1 on eBay. Before installing them I found a popped air bubble/void in the rotor. Will this be an issue? Should I try to return it for a replacement?

Curious what those sell for?

Thanks for the feedback. I've been in touch with R1 who had some questions regarding part number and front or rear. I'm waiting to hear back from them again. I'll post the outcome.

They were $400 shipped for front and rear with pads.

If I'm not upgrading to bigger rotors and calipers I'll just stick with oem rotors for about $150 a set. Then I get my pads from autozone which offer lifetime replacement. So whenever I change them at home, I just bring the used pads back and get a free replacement. No questions asked!

Are you sure thats a popped air bubble? It's perfectly lined up to the drilled hole....wonder if was going to be a hole they were drilling and realized it was the wrong place. Either way I'd return those.

I thought that at first, but it's not even as a drilled hole would be. Agree either way it's defective. Waiting for a response back from R1 Concepts. Hopefully they just send me a new one and tell me to scrap this one, or send a call tag to ship it back to them.

thats porosity in the casting.

it showed its head when they machined the braking surface.
