You can just glass bead them if they dont need surfaced,if they need surfaced find a machine shop that does flywheels B)

I met Tom Tokarz the owner of Truedisk LLC at Detroit Bike Week. He can be reached at 734-625-0290. He bought out his partner who went to work somewhere else. He looked at my LTD rotors and smiled that he wished the new bikes came with meaty rotors like these . So anyway he can grind KZ rotors very easily. 45 dollars each plus 25 dollars for any drilling pattern I can show him or draw. Not the cheapest ,but I will be taking mine to him this winter

650ed's right. They do a great job and very easy to work with. Sent mine out and got them back in less than a week.

Here's a pic of my fronts that they did:

I used an orbital sander with 220 and kept going around it in one direction until I got most of the ridges out , fresh pads and they work fine.
