Rust on new Z1 rotors

Bruggers · 07-21-2017, 04:28 PM

I installed new Z1 rotors and now a
Rust is starting to form on the inner ring of the rotor face. Does anyone have a good solution for removing and/or preventing this rust ring? I have attached a picture, hopefully you can see what I'm talking about.

My Z1 front slotted rotors do the same thing. It's really not a big deal. Paint them if it bothers you. I've painted them in the past, now I just deal with it.

If you paint your rotor hats with a good quality high temperature rust proof paint they will not get surface rust on them. This is the first thing I would do before installing new rotors. Did you install better brake pads?

Live with it. Same thing going on with my Z1 rotors.

Mine rust every time I wash the car. Go fast a brake hard or just drive it and it will go away. It is nothing to worry about. Lol if you brake like you are bedding them they will turn blue. Don't worry about that either. I think it looks cool!
