I thought I was looking at my Brembo setup on my Z when I saw that last picture!

That looks amazing. What center caps fit the Z wheels like that?

For normal street use they're fine.
Just a big no-no for the track or people that treat the street as their own personal track

Well, my brother in law installed drilled and slotted on his Accord and Oddysey, and both cracked. I really really doubt that he tracks either of the two cars.

I have those wheels on my Z right now and had a G35 buddy looking to buy mine. Just don't know what center cap he could use.

Here we go again with the cheap vs. expensive brands....

And just to answer your question, no they're not cheap that's bought from eBay, and if they are, people have sighted R1 rotors drilled and slotted cracking on DD use....
