I waged war with rusty rotors last summer -- there's no winning, unless maybe if you paint 'em; however, I did discover an impressive product, a 'rust dissolver'. It works at least for a while on rotors (mine don't get as bad now), and it took 8 years of jersey grime off of the inside of my rims (when nothing else even came close).
I've heard zinc rotors don't rust.

I've had these for the past 4 or more years and they still look and act like new. PowerSlot
Still haven't had to resurface the rotors and I brake hard when needed.

I recommend the IRotorz brake kit, I have them and love em. They have the whole kit for about $400 on ebay or you can go to their website www.irotorz.com and check them out there. I got a full set of x/drilled slotted rotorz, axxis metal master pads, and ss brake lines. Oh so sexy And they're zinc plated so they're not supposed to rust
