I'm assuming these aren't the stock rotors because those certainly aren't Brembo. The Brembo rotors should be blanks if you put them on an 01 if I recall correctly (unless drilled/slotted). They would look zinc coated at first, but eventually will look like other rotors, unless they were part of a big brake kit of course.

Zinc and cadnium plated rotors are a silver chrome color. Pickled rotors are goldish colored. The plating on a rotor only wears off where the pads contact the rotor, every where else the plating stays intact.
