that was the thing i disliked most about the car...
best solution is to change them-
i put cad plated drilled and slotted on mine and they look great- no more rust!!

to remove the rust, you have to drive the car after washing and apply the brakes enough to warm up the rotors so that they dry out. then the pads will wipe most of the rust off. but the only way to get rid of all of it is to change rotors

We have G3000 spec OEM replacement rotors on sale right now. They have black powder coating on the unswept areas (inside the cooling vanes, the hub/hat area) to prevent rust from forming and making a mess of your wheels.

If you're looking for something dressier, then we have the StopTech slotted rotors also http://www.gofastlab.com/s2ki/customer/pro...0&cat=16&page=1

All of the replacement rotors will form rust on the swept area (where the pads ride) but as mentioned above, the pads will sweep that right away.

and if you're looking for yet another option, talk to sherwin (s2ki: docofmind) who did my brake kit at an awesome price. on top of the BBK you see below, he sells direct replacement rotors, slotted, drilled, and cadmium plated to avoid rust.
