So Irecently had to do a complete brake overhaul. All 4 discs pads and all that good stuff. The discs looked really nice for a couple days, then they started to rust around where the lugs are, the hub I think its called. Is there anyway to get rid of that? It looks ugly as hell since I have TSX wheels I can see right through em. Any ideas? :hmm:

^ or spray them with caliper paint just make sure you don't get any overspray on any thing that comes in contact with the brake pads.

You have to paint them. OEM and aftermarket OEM replacement rotors are meant to rust. As said, use some sort of high temp paint and paint the hub. Just use a copper wire wheel to get the rust off. I would only paint the hub area and the outer portion of the disk if you want to take it further.
