4 lug rotors that dont rust?
the oem and Valuecraft rotors both have the orange rust if thats what it is. I dont see how somthing 100% stainless steel can be if it rusts from water and moisture. My question is what rotors are out there that dont rust at all?

Brembo blanks rust. I had Rotora brake rotors (since they are my sponsor) and the hat is painted so it doesn't rust. Those looked good.
Realize it's still steel which contains iron and it will rust (most rotors). Remember from chemistry class?
Iron is the best sponge for heat as aluminum doesn't hold heat as well.

The ones you see that do not rust are usually plated with another metal, which will eventually wear through.
