Many of us believe this 'rust' is an eyesore.
So, we either purchase zinc coated rotors, or have ones we have zinc coated locally, or live with the rust look.
Personally I like the non- rust look, like this:

Wow!
And I mean that in a good way.

The next set of rotors you buy, be sure they are zinc coated. WCC went above and beyond for you on this one and for you to blast them is really unfair to a good vendor.

I can say I've had only one dealing with WCC but it turned out to be a good one. After buying a $150 exhaust plate I discovered the chrome plating was beginning to come off on the back. I called and they said send it to us so we can have a look. I did... and then I didn't hear anything from them. After 2 weeks I called back..the lady told me that they were waiting to hear from me because they were unsure if I wanted a refund or replacement. I got the replacement. Pretty good service in my opinion.
Non plated rotors rust.. thats the nature of the materials not the fault of vendor. The consensus is right about this one..

I think WCC was pretty decent in giving you a credit,, rust is normal.. I think you got a fair deal... be happy. So you wasted some time, .. nothing to knock WCC over.. My dealings with WCC have been great. They always come through. Good luck with your new ones.. Stay cool,, life's too short

the other 50 posts (and the vendor) are wrong and you are the only one that is right.

I've had nothing but success in dealing with WCC. I agree with George (especially about yelling.....
