I agree with the wear factor being increased by how a person drives but I disagree with water causing rotors to warp and using a Super Charged Rover as an example, they are not off road vehicles, just happen to be made by a company that used to make good 4wheelers.
If water caused slotted and drilled rotors to rust then warp, would would performance companies like Mercedes, BMW, Porche and most of the other European companies use them use them?

Obviously you have never taken a Supercharged range rover sport offroad. I have. they work just as well but the mud and the dirt and water make em squeal like a pig.

I know, it is just my diffination of wheel and yours are 2 different things, I couldn't even imagine taking one of the new 510 H.P. RR's off road.
Me I like my 188 HP D2 and it's abilities.

Waste money its your decision but if you want to listen to aftermarket guys who are in it to make money and the service industry that just wants you happy then take your pick. Trust me regular rotors never hurt a thing.

Oh and the new RR is beautiful offroad.
