Even lighter rotors??

I think the wave cut requires additional manufacturing processes which may increase their price over round rotors. From what I've read on Audi's as well, it was a solution to increases their resistance to warping more than a weight saving thing.

Wonder what the cost vs savings lbs vs less material means fast heat up time is.

Why does it look like it's wavy on the outter face and still a full round rotor on the inner face? That's definitely not the shield.
