Looks like nothing can stop rotors from rusting with our Canadian weather... My two month old cadmium plated rotors from Magnum has begun rusting already.

Big disappointment.

What did you expect bro? Are we talking about the surface the pad touches or the the whole thing?

The non-contact area of the rotors, so the hub area and the very top.

Not good!!! Mine are holding up ok but they are still new. I got em painted so hopefully the hub will hold up.

Oh okay. They told me that they offer either cadmium coating or painted hub, so I couldn't get both.

You live and learn I guess.

I purchased the plated ones like you, and after 8 or 10 months, they still look good... not like they were new mind you, but still pretty good when compared to stock.

Definitely better than stock, but I figured they would look new for at least a year.
