Not so sure about that... I had black diamonds for the wife's old hyundai coupe, and they went silver on the friction surfaces. Things may have changed since I guess...Originally Posted by ianturbo

Hope your cracking jokes mate about the white spirit. To my knowledge the black wears off the face of the brake discs as they bed in, to sliver.Don't forget to clean that horrible black gunk off the face of the disc - white spirit if I remember correctly
I upgraded my rears to them for £130, but thats how much the v6 discs cost, the vr4 ones are like £500 so you got yourself a BIG bargin, well done mate.

No I'm not. Even if the black doesn't come off, you should always give the friction surfaces of a new set of discs a once-over with a solvent like white spirit - it removes all the anticorrosive gunk that the manufacturers put on to keep the disc looking shiny and new in the box.
Yeah I did that, I was just relating to the black coming off with white spirit, but I get yeh now.
The black comes off with use.
I had problems with Black Diamond discs, as did someone else - they can rattle, even with the wheel nuts done up very tight. Then, something very weird happened, with one area of the disc going rough - apparently because of the material of the disc:
