Lightbulb How do these rotors look?

To the experts out there... how do these rotors on a 01 Bug look? :



Good, bad, or somewhere in the middle? Might go take a look at it... The tires have lots of miles on them from the pic... your thoughts? Thanks!

All I can see is some surface rust, other than that can't tell much from the picture.

Uhh.. kinda hard to tell. Do they sound kinda like this "squeak" "squeak" This doesnt always have anything to do with the rotors themselves... I was just wondering, mine started to go "squeak" :squeak".. bummer.

dont remind me of squeak squeak, I've re surfaced my front rotors twice and bougth two different sets of pads, first I bought was in pepboys, they squeaked like crazy when I took them off they where crystilized so I returned them got my money back and resurfaced the rotors and bought another pair from local autozone, worked great no squeak for about a month now its starting to do it again not as bad as the first set so I think im gonna hold off till I can get some money to buy a big brake set up, I just "finished" doing a carputer install that well I still have minor details to look at so once I finish that and other proyects hopefully the brakes hold on till then
