Yep, they are in the pic shown above. Brembo. The were gold when I got them which I thought was weird, but the gold rubbed right off after braking for the first time.

Unfortunately many of the bargain ones are worth only half of what you pay for. Many are drilled improperly which tends to make them very fragile.

Although I have not used them the Brembos seem to be holding up pretty good from what I hear.

Too bad I can say the same about several other brands
