Wait, what? You can't chrome or powder coat rotors. Check out Centric. The center hubs are more resistant to rusting than stock.

no point in getting colored rotors, a buddy of mine bought some off ebay one time and the color wore off over a few months.

Colored rotors?? The Centrics have a black e-coating. I have Powerslots made by Centric and after 2.5 years they still look good. The stock ones are rusted within months.
