I'm getting my new wheels this week and can't really afford to do any upgrades to the brakes at this point. I'm concerned about the rust showing up more with my new rims. Is there any kind of spray or anything else that can be done or applied to eliminate/reduce the rust???

 

I sprayed mines with caliper paint,,,,,which could alsobe used on rotor's. Just make sure to tape off the area's that come in contact with the break pads......

 

Rust is normal and there is nothing you can do about it until you have them resurfaced.

 

yea just use brake cleaner and then use caliper or high temp engine paint.. either one will work.. both are ceramic based.. if you want the stealth look.. paint em black.. if you want new/OE look.. paint em silver..

 

wait...you can paint brake rotors?

thats news to me [&:]

 

lol.. not the part of the rotor tahts the pads touch.. just the part on the hub and the vents

 

you can technically paint all of it. The paint will come off when you use the brakes. Its not good for them really but it does come off

 

ah ok

that makes more sense

 

I used a 800 degree grey primer, and that was well over a year ago. The hub is still 100% rust free, and looks so much better.

 

just stay out of the rain and you wont get rusty rotors.. what rims are you getting
