Wish I could help you out, but I have no knowledge in brakes myself...sry!

I've heard about brake dust but never knew what it was...could you educate me on it? Does that mean it's not good to buy rims like 17" or 18" and run stock rotors/pads?

The internet sites usually say x amount for each single rotor.

All you need to do is clean the rotor to remove any grease that may decrease brake performance. Brake cleaner does the job.

Yep, you only machine or turn rotors to extend the life of them.

I've never heard of turning new rotors...I don't know why you want to do that. If they need to be turned when they are new, they suck and shouldn't be installed on your car to start with.
