Post Rotor upgrade!!

I just got new rotors and pads on my car but the shop manager misunderstood me and now I have some plain rotors witch is already rusting after a week.
I wanted to get drilled and slotted rotor with some corrosion protection on it because the rust is reflecting on the chrome wheels. Of course I don't wanna get anything less than the OEM rotors but something equal good as OEM or better.
I found a couple items what I liked but I'm not sure about them. Please guys help me out!!!

What are you think about these?

and these Premium rotors

Why did you have to replace them already?

I'm waiting until my brakes actually need replacing, then hopefully at that time a big brake kit is available.

The original was worned out so I had to get replaced but the shop did not listen to me and they got something else. What I got a week ago is already rusting and looks awful.

The TSX and Ceramic Rotor package looks good. Seems to be a good price for the set.

Witch one? The one on Ebay or the other?
To be honest I like the one on the brakeperformance.com web site but I'll take your advice what is better!!

FYI, the brakes and rotors of the 2G is the same as the 1G, so you can check out the vendors on this forum that sell the brakes for the 1G.

1G stands for 1st Generation TSX (Model year 2004-2008), 2G stands for 2nd Generation (Model year 2009 onwards). Do a search and you can locate the vendors.
