it's a really old pic....so they don't look quite as nice now I got them from Sherwin (docofmind)....he sells BBK's and rotors.....awesome guy btw......they will due until I get a BBK

 

know what you mean... as you can see by my pic (first one on this thread), mine are showing some rust in the drilled and slotted parts- still way better than the stockers, but it would be nice to know how to get rid of the rust inside the drills and slots!!

 

The rust in the slots and holes is just built up brake dust, so get rid of it!
It's easy...

1. Get a couple wire brushes with brass bristles, found at "Checker" in the detailing section, about the size of a tooth brush.
2. Get some brake cleaner.
3. Remove wheel.
4. Spay cleaner into a slot, scrub a few seconds with brush, spray again to remove crap.
5. Scrub all slots and holes, should only take a few minutes per rotor.
6. Replace wheels.
7. Curse and ask yourself, "Why the hell didn't I do this before now!"

A couple notes:
The softer brass bristles won't harm your rotors. If your anal and really want to deep clean the drilled holes you can find neat brushes for that in a small caliber gun cleaning kit. If you do manage to somehow break or damage something don't blame me, I simply claim that it works for me. Giving up a couple hours every few months to clean up your rotors isn't so bad, especially if your rolling on an aftermarket set of wheels, so get to it.

 

so if they are cad plated, it's not the plating wearing off?

 

.....rears with decals, as requested.

Not inside the slots and holes, thats just brake dust. Mine are also plated, if they weren't plated then it would probably be rust.

 

great- thanks!!
will be trying that soon-
still have brake clean from the caliper painting...
