Rear brake rotor

OK, just wanted to add something to the NEW forum :D and there's nothing like a dumb (or at least odd) question. The rear brake rotor on my 03 lemans has a bronze or copper (?) ring around its outside edge. Why is that? The front rotors are steel with no "gold" edge. What's the difference? Anyone notice this? I didn't! Some people standing around my bike at an event in Stockton did last week and I didn't have an answer :blush:

Well, I can't say for certain, but since the rear rotor is solid(i.e. not floating), it was probably painted as one piece, then ground off where the pads will run.

 

So, along the outer edge, a gold "ring" could have been left during this process :huh2:

 

I'm sure it's nothing "special" though :P
