Here is a wheel design GM developed for their Ultralite concept car.I can't vouch for their effectiveness,but GM has pretty stringent safety criteria for their vehicles,even if only a concept.
Daimler-Benz may have designed your rotors for full-panic-stop braking on a 6% grade,fully loaded,in Furnace Creek,Death Valley during peak summer temps.
