Bought 4 Avid HS1 rotors for £3.62 each inc. bolts and postage, pretty happy. Seemingly decent quality, I installed 4 and they all look straight and round, no swarf, drilling in the right places and so on. The material is the only thing that could be suspect.
Not sure if there's such a thing as fake rotors but I guess we'll find out when I try to brake on a downhill and die (or not) in an explosion
