Looks nice! Tip: Put a little anti-sieze on your hub and nut to prevent the ugly corrosion
IT also helps get your wheels/hub rings off!
Obviously keep it away from the friction surfaces on the rotor and pads.
Good luck with the brakes!

Uh Oh - your rotors are on backwards...
...check the directional vains in the rotor. If I am interpreting the pic correctly, the caliper is rear mounted. The vanes INSIDE the rotor are supposed to spool outward. Yours are spooling inward.
Coleman usually cuts the gas slotting across the grain of the cooling vanes. I don't know why they didn't there.
Please post some more pics.

I agree...
It appears you've installed the RH (passengers side) rotor on the LH (drivers side).
As the rotor spins, the slots should expel gases towards the perimeter of the rotor. If you leave them as in the pic, gases will expel towards the center of the rotor.
