Default Do These Rotors Exist?

I’m getting new wheels and I figure since people will be looking at them the rotors can’t very well look like ****.

What I want is a rotor that is plain (no holes, slots, etc)… but has a black hub and black edge around the circumference of the rotor.

I can’t find them so wondering if they’re out there.

Might help if we had an idea of what the rotor is supposed to go on.

What type & year of Car, Truck, van, minivan or school bus?

I'd just grab blanks from your local auto parts store and paint the hats and edge, that's what I usually do

Yup, quick wipe with brake clean then caliper paint. I've used regular rustoleum in a spray can and it has held up good enough.

If it fades, just hit it again real quick when you're doing your next service.

Centric, Wagner and AC Delco make some front/rear rotors that are black E-Coated. I saw them on Rock Auto before I bought my Centric GEOMET coated stuff.

I did my brakes recently, I have a 93 with stock LT1 brakes. I could not find a front and rear set with the black borders. I wanted the same look as you. I checked all local parts store sites, amazon, rock auto. I ended up getting Geomet coated from R1 concrepts, I like the look, goes well with my z06 silver wheels.

Raybestos R-Line Brake Rotors have the black hats, Autozone and Napa also sell premium rotors that have black hats.

Centric Premium blanks fit this bill

Ive been doing this with rattle can gloss black for decades, not sure how it would do on a 100-0 test but normal driving it holds up surprisingly well.
