Hi Guys,
i'm looking for some decent disc brake discs 140+160 mm + centre lock.
Does anyone here have a recommendation?
Preferably with a good price on Aliexpress due to the discount week.
I just found these - they are recommended by Elitewheels.
Does anyone here have any experience?

That's damn expensive. I would encourage you to search the second hand market, you can find great deals.
I bought 2 pairs of brand new shimano SMRT64 with 2 pairs of pads for 20€
Also, these centerlock lock rings that require a 44mm wrench can go straight to hell.

These are a very cheap upgrade that saves quite a lot of weight and is ten times more convenient

Those are rebadged ZRace rotors and selling for cheaper than what ZRace sells them for. Though they're a bit heavy for 160mm rotors.

I've been using these Onirii rotors. I just weighed them last night and they weigh 102g for rotor + 7g for lock ring.

The Onirii stuff has been really top notch. I ended up buying a 2nd pair rotors for one of my road bike after good experiences with the 1st pair I tried on my other road bike.

At the price of ZRace rotors I'd just buy genuine Sram Centerlock... Brakes are one place where being cheap or trying to save weight is legit dangerous.
With that said, I'm interested in these floating rotors as they have steel braking surface, alloy fins (no metal sandwich as seen on Shimano Shitetech tho) and cost 18€ shipped (although there might be additional cost in order to run these with centerlock wheels) https://www.aliexpress.us/item/1005001547957941.html

All I do is climb and descend and I think the Onirii rotors are legit. They're being used by the sponsored Onirii pro race teams in Asia. Plus they make a cool whooshing sound when you brake!

It's a different rotor

I didn't have good experience with Zrace rotors (though it was a cheaper model). Now I just get Shimano RT10/30/54 and get on with it. Almost as cheap and no squealing.

I see that now! sorry about that

I just went with low end shimano rotors from Ali on my gravel bike. No problem locking up my brakes with them.

Got mine here, https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832814175675.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.19.21ef18026XbmTq&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa (https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832814175675.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.19.21ef18026XbmTq&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa). They have 140+160 MT800 and MT900 too. Very fast shipping to me in US.

I ordered a pair of those two piece rotors by IIIPro on Aliexpress. They come in different colors. 108g for a 160mm rotor which is decent given that it’s not a crazy lightweight design. I’ll put them on my gravel bike and see how it goes.

Hello.
Old topic, but i would be interested to know how IIIPro rotors went after some time (actually quite some time :) )
Thanks

Still using my 2-piece IIIPro rotors with no issue on both my road bikes. I recently used them on a 34% hill descent and they survived! Most my riding are on hilly conditions as well. I consider them the best bang-for-buck center lock rotors on AliEx at the moment.

I agree with this. I also encounter a lot of elevation change. For the price I don't think there is anything better.

You guys talking about the version that is 154g 160mm centerlock or what version? Not easy to find iiipro centerlock
-
No, these ones:
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256808392450745.html (https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256808392450745.html)
I rode last night going over 70km on the downhill. The disc rotor has very good bite. Only downside is they're marked as resin only.
-
I’ve tried a few of them and ended up running these on about 4 of my bikes. Simple, but works well.

I didn’t have the best luck with the lighter ones, but I’m about 200lbs

I absolutely do have a long term review. I already have a short term review I posted a while back of the IIIPro (linked by jonathan above) on my gravel bike compared to the SM-RT64 rotors. I loved them a lot and after scary brake fades that could have killed me on ultegra rotors I decided to get them on my road bike as well. I was a pretty average descender, not very confident before.
Swapping to iiipro was the biggest upgrade I've made to my bike, easily. I feel invincible. They've been tested at 85kmh, down the galibier (top 6% on strava), izoard (top 8%), ballon d'alsace (top 4%) and plenty more. I was a top 30-40% type of descender on ice tech rotors. I might end up on going through a terrone's windshield but I'm not going off the road.
Running them with R8000 rear brake with stock pad and R7100 front with bucklos ceramic pads. High center of gravity, hoods only, no supertuck. Needless to say the rest of my setup could be improved but the rotors alone made a HUGE difference.
They haven't reversed my hairline or brought her back, but they're really impressive. If you are still buying shitmano rotors, what the hell are you doing?

Bought two IIIPro (160mm centerlock) 5 hours ago, and now i read ur comment made me even more confident. Im still with stock RT10 shimano rotors in my Scultura, and with this change I will shave almost 200g. If they are as good in terms of braking performance as what i have with rt10 Im happy. If they brake even better its a plus.

I am super happy with mana disc brake rotors. I rate then higher then dura ace rotors
-
so whats the best combo for brake pads with iiipro rotors? Already have the rotors but in need of new pads.
-
I am super happy with many disc brake rotors. I rate then higher then dura ace rotors
Many meaning?

cheaper here:
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805412497009.html
once i saw a couple of negative review regarding this type. They have the same problem as another brand (zrace i belive is called). Basically the internal wing is coming off easily lol.
still i haven't tryed and probably i wont do it
-
I order a couple or 140's in order to have some spares.
You nurished my expectations...
-
I can confirm that IIIPro A2 ultra light high disc brake (160mm centerlock) is good. I have done like 300km and its at least the as good (but lighter) as my cheap heavy shimano rotors. Did yesterday a granfundo with some descending and nothing to worry about. I cant talk about durability.
-
I can confirm the good quality of IIIPRO 140's on my ultegra 12speed caliper
Performance, after a 50km break in, are close to RT900
