With a claimed weight of 56 grams, they are pretty light, but how do they work and how long do they hold up??

Most brake manufacturers will clearly state that using aluminum rotors will void warranty. With that said, they are definitely race day only items since they wear out very, very quickly. I wouldn't risk it. Go with the Scrub rotors if you need rotors that are that light.

that guy that is making and selling these rotors is making a killing.

A sheet of 2 mm thick 7075, 30 mins of CAD work. 15 mins setup time on water jet machine. Some acid in a tank. Some dye. A battery charger and some copper wires...

125 bucks for two rotors? wow!
