you have to bed them in for about 300+ miles aswell for em to work at top standard. they look like they would cost. they cant look any more chavvy than those faxe rear brake discs.

I think if your buying brake discs wondering whether they will suit your car, you are buying them for the wrong reason. Maybe some of them Brembo covers would look good too

It's down to a simple engineering rule. Anything that has a sharp edge on it will experience more fatigue that an edge with a radius.

isnt it that the rotor shapes takes in more air which gives cooler temperatures?

Yea, that would theoretically make the problem worse. As would the fact that there is less metal on them.... They would get hot quickly (due to less material) then they would cool down more quickly (due to the fancy vents). This would lead the accelerated stress fractures due to the expanding and contracting of the material. Also, brakes are meant to be hot, the pads are designed at an optimum operating temperature. If you find your brakes are getting too hot, get bigger brakes.
