They look OK to me with the exception of that funny, lightning-bolt shaped "crease".
What the hell made that mark?
Rotor rusted onto the housing?

Ok I'll tell ya what I know about it. Not much. As far as I know it was maybe created when the housing was forged. I put a brand new apex seal over each one of the (lightning bolts) and no light came from underneath them. It was fine. These housing I sold to him came out of an engine with about 30,000 miles and then engine had 110 psi compression both front and rear rotors. So I personally think these housings are fine, but a second opinion is always good. thanks, Chris

Most pictures are blurry. I don't know how familiar with your camera you are, but you may not be using the macro function (close up picture mode) properly, if at all. You may also be moving the camera too early after you take the picture. Also, you can set the camera to a lower resolution (1 or 2MP), and still get great pictures.

I can't honestly comment on the housings without better pictures, and this will help everyone else out too.
