Angry Replacement for RUSTY stock rotors?

The stock rotors on my 2003 TLS are very rusty on the areas where the pads don't contact the rotor. Very ugly! Can anyone reccomend replacement rotors that DON'T rust? Thanks.

I think alot has to do with climate and where you live.

Nonetheless, IMO I wouldn't replace the rotors just because certain areas are rusty. If you want better stopping power, then go for it.

There have been several threads on painting those areas that are rusting. I have the same problem and will be doing this project in the near future.

They do rust up real quick... matter of hours sometimes.

Just drive it around, use the brakes, then they'll be nice and shiny.

Not the part that doesn't touch the brake pads...
