brake problem

["D.J. Bergesen" <achtungvr6@hotmail.com>]

Anyone ever have a Grooving problem on the front rotors? My 96.5+ GLX 11.3" 
front rotors have about a 1/16th in. groove around the outer edge, and it 
doesn't seem normal (to me, the untrained VW owner). However, nothing was 
said at the 60K servicing, or when I had my left wheel bearing replaced. No 
braking problems either. I decided, for kicks, to take it to a brake place 
(not like a great shop, but one of those qwik-e places that specializes in 
swindling - at least in Tucson), and they told me they were destroyed, and 
that the brakes shouldn't even be working like this. Price: $120/ rotor. I 
KNOW I can get the 11.3" rotors for $82 per from Pep Boys.

Any words of wisdom? It's not really a groove, more like the entire suface 
of the rotor is recessed about 1/16th in. from the outside part of the rotor 
- picture an opened can of tuna, where the tuna is flatened 1/16th in down 
from the rim of the can.

Anyone??????
