I didnt have time to take any pics while i was putting them on but i got a few today with the rims back on....they definetly look alot better then rusted up stocks and they seem to stop twice as good too :lol:

You might also want to paint around in inside part of your rotor. I did it on mine and it looks awesome. I'll post up some pics when I get home on Friday.

Mine came that way. Wonderful idea. The hats don't rust then.

Yep, I had mine on for three weeks and it rusted. The rotor face is zinc plated, but that's it. So all I could see was the rust.

Great looking rotors you got there! With the zinc plating they shouldn't rust, so no need to paint them.

Yes they are and I'm not very happy about the rust. I sent an email to WBS. Take a look at my rear rotors.

I assume they will do something seeing how I paid just over $300 for my front and rear rotors.

WOW!!!

something definitely wrong happened somewhere with your rears. WBS should give you new ones for sure. that ain't right for zinc coated.

It's evident that they weren't zinc plated, they wouldn't rust like that if they were.

When they zinc plate them do they normally do the whole rotor? I'm hoping to hear something back from them tomorrow.

Yea, I think they made a mistake. My fronts did the same thing. Where you see the red on my front rotors up higher on the page was also rusted.
