My Rotors.

My rotors were fine for the first few months, then rust took over.



Then I did some work and got this.



Then the rust chose to come back, not as bad, but it bothered me so I just got new ones installed today.



What you guys think?

I cant really tell a difference, but it really changed the look of the rims. They blend really well now.

I think it looks sick.

Those have too many holes IMO. Cracking could be an issue with those, not to mention the reduced braking surface area.

Havent heard of a issue with this brand. (Yet)

My balt is not a daily driver either, it gets like 25 miles every two weeks. Maybe.

How did you go about cleaning up the first pair and how long did they stay clean before they started rusting again?

I left it with a friend, he got the rust off, then I took some paint too it.

The rust stayed off for 3-4 months. Then it just started back on the top.

Looks great! I remember when I used to have slotted drilled rotors on my past vehicles...never again...The look fantastic but they wore through pads like a damn cheese grater...Maybe it was the pads...but I like to blame the rotors.
