However, he didn't spin them ALL the way around - obviously stopped when it started to grind....which then leads to the question why is there a rin ALL the way around the rotor? Another interesting thing is that there are no grooves on the inner side of the rotor.....So what up with that?

Should I tell him to pay for replacement front rotors? Should be $130 or so shipped.
