Hella 355115262 259mm Solid Disc Brake Rotor
Hella 355115262 259mm Solid Disc Brake Rotor — Product description
The Hella 355115262 is a solid, one-piece disc brake rotor with a 259 millimeter outside diameter, 10 millimeter nominal thickness, and a 5 x 100 bolt pattern. It's cast from gray iron and zinc-coated to fight the surface rust that plagues bare rotors. Sold as a single disc. Check the dimensions against your old rotor before you buy.
The Hella 355115262 is a solid, one-piece disc brake rotor built to bolt onto a 5 x 100 millimeter hub. It measures 259 millimeters across the outside diameter, runs 10 millimeters at nominal thickness, and stands 44 millimeters tall from the friction face to the hat. If you're chasing down a worn or warped disc, those numbers are what matter most. Match them against the rotor you're pulling off and you'll know in about thirty seconds whether this is the right part.
It's cast from gray cast iron, the same material that's carried brake systems for decades, and it's finished with a zinc coating. That coating does real work. Bare cast iron starts surface-rusting almost the moment it's exposed to weather, especially around the hat and the edges where the pads never sweep. The zinc layer holds that off, so the rotor looks clean behind an open wheel and, more importantly, the non-swept areas don't turn into a flaky mess over a wet winter. The friction ring wears in and shines up the first time you drive on it.
This is a solid rotor, not a vented one. There are no internal cooling vanes between two faces. Solid discs run on plenty of compact and mid-size cars, usually where the brakes don't have to shed as much heat as a big, heavy vehicle would demand. They're simpler, they're a touch lighter, and for the vehicle they were designed around they've got the thermal capacity the job needs. This one weighs about 8.58 pounds on its own.
The 5 x 100 bolt pattern means five lug holes spaced on a 100 millimeter circle. It's a common pattern, so a lot of different cars share it, which is exactly why you can't buy a rotor on bolt pattern alone. The center bore here is 64.2 millimeters, and the diameter and thickness have to match your caliper and hub too. The safest move is always to check the part against your VIN or measure the disc you're replacing. Bolt pattern gets you in the neighborhood. The full dimension set gets you the right house.
Fitment note, and we mean this: verify before you install. Retailers list this rotor with a confirm-fitment flag for a reason. The dimensions are specific and they're published right here in the spec table, so cross-check them against your factory rotor or a VIN-based lookup rather than guessing off the bolt pattern. Two minutes of checking beats a return and a car up on stands with the wrong part in your hand.
Installing it is straightforward if you've done brakes before. Clean the hub face so the new rotor seats flat against bare metal, because even a little rust scale under the hat can throw off runout and give you a pulsing pedal. Torque the caliper bracket and guide pins to your vehicle's spec. Then bed the pads in properly, a series of moderate stops from moderate speed to lay an even transfer layer on the fresh friction surface. Skip the bed-in and you invite uneven deposits and that shudder everybody blames on warped rotors. Do it right and this disc feels smooth and quiet from the first drive.
One thing to know up front: this is sold as a single rotor. Brakes work as a pair across an axle, so if one side's worn or scored, the other side usually is too. Order two if you're doing the axle, and it's good practice to replace the pads at the same time so the new surfaces wear in together. Hella has built vehicle components for a long time, and that same fit-and-forget philosophy carries into their brake line. Get the fitment right and this rotor just does its job, stop after stop.

Frequently asked questions
What vehicles use a 5 x 100 bolt pattern?
A 5 x 100 pattern means five lugs on a 100 millimeter circle, and it's common across a range of compact and mid-size cars. Because so many vehicles share it, bolt pattern alone doesn't confirm fitment. Match the 259 mm diameter, 10 mm thickness, and 64.2 mm center bore to your vehicle or your old rotor to be sure.
What does 5 x 100 mean?
Five wheel studs or lug holes arranged evenly on an imaginary circle 100 millimeters in diameter. It's one of the measurements that has to match for the rotor to seat correctly on your hub.
What is 5 x 100 mm equivalent to in inches?
5 x 100 mm converts to roughly 5 x 3.94 inches. It's a metric pattern, so the metric spec is the one to trust when you're confirming fitment.
Is this a front or rear rotor?
That depends on your vehicle. This is a solid 259 mm disc, and different cars run this size on different axles. Check it against the rotor you're replacing or a VIN-based lookup before ordering.
Is the rotor sold individually or as a pair?
It's sold as a single rotor. Brakes wear as a pair across an axle, so if one side needs replacing the other usually does too. Most people order two and do the whole axle at once.
What does the zinc coating do?
It protects the cast iron from surface rust, especially on the hat and outer edges where the pads never sweep. The friction ring shines up as soon as you drive on it, and the rest of the rotor stays clean behind the wheel.
Can this rotor be resurfaced?
At 10 mm nominal thickness there isn't much material to give up, so check your vehicle's minimum thickness spec against the old rotor before machining. On thin discs like this, most techs simply replace rather than resurface.
What is the rotor made of?
Zinc-coated gray cast iron. Gray iron is the long-proven material for brake discs because it handles heat well and gives consistent friction, and the zinc coating adds corrosion resistance.
How do I keep the new rotor from pulsing or shuddering?
Clean the hub face down to bare metal so the rotor seats flat, torque everything to spec, and bed the pads in with a series of moderate stops. Rust or debris under the hat is the usual cause of runout and a pulsing pedal.
Should I replace the pads too?
It's good practice. Fresh pads and a fresh rotor wear in together and lay down an even transfer layer, which gives you quieter, smoother braking than pairing a new rotor with worn pads.
