I would call Wilwood first. Their is a good chance they are not if they are cross drilled and coated.

if their drilled or slotted you cant turn them. If you do the bit on the lathe will cause extremely tiny hiarline cracks in and around the holes and slots which will get a lot bigger once the rotors heat up again during braking. Not exactly safe
