Fake Brembo rotors ???

I bought a pair of these rotor discs a few days ago. Everything looks fine until I see the markings on the outer wall of the discs. Any help ?

Brembo still hasn't reply and I doubt they will. I contacted the seller and he says he can assure they're 100% genuine lol.. he even recommended that I message brembo to clarify it, probably because brembo won't reply

then pay for restocking fee, and handling fee, and repackaging free (since they might need to make another fakebox too)

I have contacted the seller in the past, they make it sound so genuine. Unless we can find solid proof of it being counterfeit, otherwise I think it'll be hard for us to do anything about it...

Yeah so BREMBO replied to me today, asking for pictures of the box and rotors. I sent them through, hopefully get a reply soon. I'll update here when they do reply.

Those entry level blank brembos all come out of a sweatshop in China anyway, hell it's probably the same joint that made RDAs.

Dont expect the letters to line up properly

That's good news! The reply does look a bit simple but I think they wouldn't have been superficial at authenticating their products.... let's hope so

Really? I've always thought that all Brembo products are made in the one factory in Italy.
