Default Rotors FYI

Hey guys,
I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but when changing the rotors there is a certain way to place them back on. Make sure that were the 2 screws go on the rotor are lined up with the hole that has a grove and isn't the hole that is flush. I did this mistake and had the screw head sticking out barely but enough for the rim to notice. This actually caused a wobble feeling when hitting speeds of 45 plus. I took it to Goodyear and Honda. Neither could figure it out, they thought it was a bent rim and bent axle...nearly cost me over 400 to fix. I took it to a rim shop to see if they could bend it back in place and that is where they noticed it was the rotor and the screw was misplaced. If you guys can understand what I am trying to say or explain please double check and save some money on an easy repair and go buy a mod instead. Have a good one guys and girls, lol.

That's an easy fix: just throw away those stupid screws and you won't have to worry about them anymore.

No need for those screws. They're just they're for production lines.
