I have heard of people filling in the depression with a ceramic. The
guy who did my ceramic coatings on my manifold and housing told me of a
guy who had been coming in to have it done on the rotors for his race
car. Not sure how well it worked.
Remember that it is important to match the weight, or have the rotors
re-balanced when you are done.

I would not do ceramic. Too risky. If it comes off say
goodbye to your expensive rotor housings.

What about the plasma spray on technology .... which was used for
turbine blades when I was at Eastern Air Lines ?

That has problems too. Detonation coating is tough and sticks well
but very expensive. Cut a pieces of .065" thick sheet
steel. Bend it to fit and screw it in. Then braze or tig
weld the screw heads so it they don't work loose.
Balance the rotor about its own center and match its
weight with the other rotor.
OR buy 9.7:1 high compression rotors from the 89 to 92 second
gen engine from Mazdatrix.
