Oh man. it sucks because any rotor that isnt properly treated or painted rust like this.
You could buy caliper paint and paint all the hubs. I would go with black...

So pissed.. Thought I was done and she pulls me back in with more work. These were on sale and I saved about $150 over the cost of OEM ones. I would have gladly paid that extra for what its worth now. Live and learn! Is painting the hubs easy enough? Seems so, but I hate taking these wheels off, so heavy..

It basically occured over night too. Thinking of black or an alloy silver to match the rims.

I have the standard replacements, no cross-drilled or slotted. I suppose those are a better quality. Anyone else with Brembo can chime in?

Should I paint the calipers as well while i'm at it? Perhaps paint those red.
