New alloy rims

Hi guys, I recently switch to 17" rims from 14" steelies. After a day of rains, the factory brake rotor start to rust. Is there anyway prevent those rust? Stanless steel may be?

rotors always rust after it rains and they sit there for a while. mine do it overnight sometimes. itll go away after driving and braking. i guess you could use brake cleaner or anti-squeak to clean/prevent the rusting.

Yeah theres really no way to prevent it. Its just the really really thin layer on top. With the rims though you notice it more .

Yeah, no worries. After you drive a little, the pads will take off the rust.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.
