Call and ask 'em. Maybe they just buy a lot and sell 'em cheap and make their money in volume. That IS a terrific price.

If you go to the "shipping calculator", it appears to be deceptive if you don't pay close attention. It lists shipping for one item, unless you select 2. It threw up $44 each for shipping to my state. So the two rotors are now up to almost $150. Not a bargain in my book.

Yes, as VaSheriff said - you got to watch the shipping charges from some of these sellers. You'll spend $150, and then if they're not right they refund your money for the rotors - but not for the shipping! And in that case you'll have to pay to have them shipped back too, and while it probably won't cost you $88, if they're not right you'll probably have spent ~$200 and you'll only get a third of that back.

The rotor in the picture has 7 studs, that looks a little weird to me.
Sometimes you have to watch out for th shipping on e-bay.

Wow, good eyes. I hadn't noticed that - that is bizarre. Has anyone ever seen a vehicle with seven wheel studs?

Probably a bogus calculation when they converted to metric...

Yeah, I did the shipping calculation too and saw about $42 to ship to my state so I thought, well, heck $108 for a pair of good front rotors shipped? I can't beat that. I didn't see the part about the "shipping price each" so that adds another $42 so we're pretty much back to where we started huh?

I liked the ad. The runout is next to nothing and it seems that these would be of good quality. I would have to kindly ask them to add a stud though -- GOOD CATCH!

Didn't the F250 "light duties" of the mid/late 90's come with 7 lugs?

I thought lugs went 4,5,6 ,8 and 10 on the big trucks. I've never have seen 7.

7 is used on the previous body style F-150 w/ the heavy suspension pack. "7700". It was badged as the F250 for a year or so before the Super Dutys hit the streets as a stop gap.

It has 7 lug axles with the rear being semi floating.
