Question for you guys with aftermarket rotors installed, do they rust like the factory rotors. I'm not talking about the rotor hat area, but the rotor surface area. I stay busy these days cleaning the inside of my wheels, because the aftermarket wheels have more visable area than the stock 17's.

 

Unfortunately they do. I have had aftermarket brakes on my last three stangs, and they were just as bad.

 

They will when they get wet......its gone within a couple stops though.

 

I would assume this is inherent to the fact that putting any sort of non-rust coating on the rotor would 1) we worn off once you use the brakes, and 2) kill your braking power (i.e.: make the surface too smooth). [&:]
