Yes, but at least he is no longer screaming. I see this as progress, albeit extremely minor.

This is not a matter of one "opinion" being right or wrong, it's a matter of "fact" that untreated rotors will rust... plain and simple. Your failure to grasp that is what makes you look stupid, along with your misspelled words and grammatical errors.

I saw a super sweet black brand spanking new Black C6 Coupe yesterday, w/ some super shiny aftermarket chrome 19" wheels w/ fat lip. However, the spokes were thin, so you can see how RUSTY those stock OEM GM rotors were. Totally killed the look of the car.

Again, this is a brand spanking new C6 w/ the 30 day tags still on it. What does that tell you? It's NORMAL. Although, I would've gotten my rotors zinc washed or painted.

Dude ... if they're not plated ... they're going to rust.

Even Zink Plated Rotors will eventually rust

Rotors rust, but mine are usually shiny again by the time I get to the end of my driveway.
