New car rusty rotor edges

odontoblast · 04-23-2024, 03:16 PM

Ok I may get flamed for this but…

So I just picked up my new g80 with 10 miles on it. Noticed the rotor edges, note: not the rotor surface, was super rusty upon pick up. All four corners. My new g20 was not like this and only rusted out after a good 6months maybe even a year. I know it doesn’t affect performance. This a g80 thing or am I just unlucky?

Yep. I painted mine with high heat back paint from week 2.

It's iron. It's going to rust, this is normal. Just drive it.
