One made in Italy, the other made in China
Update 2 years later: Had wheels off doing some work. Drivers side (made in China) was covered in rust and looked significantly older than the passenger side. The passenger side showed 2 years of use but at least was not covered in rust. They still work fine but the coating on the Italian made one definitely seems to be holding up better. Will still buy, but will only buy these in person now so I can verify what I'm getting. Original: Actually kind of disappointed in this purchase. Ordered 2 to do my front brakes. They came in two different size packages but I didn't think much of it. Pulled one out and it was covered in packing oil. Thought that was odd. Also had a machined surface instead of the "anodized type" surface that the box showed. Installed it and moved on to the passenger side. Pulled the second rotor out of the box and it looked completely different with the fully coated surface I expected from pictures. It was so different that I spent the next 10 minutes verifying part numbers matched on the box and the rotors themselves. I couldn't figure it out until I saw in small print that the driver's side (covered in packing oil) was "Made in China" and the nice finished passenger side was "Made in Italy". The difference in appearance does not give me warm fuzzies about the difference in manufacturing or metal alloy used. I guess time will tell. No more ordering rotors from somewhere that I can't see them first.
