Default No Chrome Rotor From P.M.?

Anyone know why Performance Machine's 13" Luxe rotor doesn't come with a chrome hub option? They offer polished and painted only and I can't get an explanation.

Nobody except PM can answer that question I would think.

Chrome on the carrier (center portion) of that kind of rotor adds extra thickness to the rotor as a whole which would affect the way that the two pieces of the rotor attach together which would contribute to potential problems with the rotor. tehre is no way to control the thickness of the chrome and ensure that it is exactly the same every time. For comparisons sake the 13" black rotors are anodized which does not add any thickness to the carrier of the rotor. And obviously the same goes for the polished.

I am pretty confident that the 13" matching rotors are only available in polish or black anodize. I know chrome might look a tad bit nice with a chrome wheel but their polished 13" matching rotors look awesome in person.

You are correct, my previous P/N is for a hub not a rotor. Thank you for your help.
