Of course its going to rust. There's no type of finish on the rotors to prevent rust. It's basically a chunk of cast iron. The pads wear the rotors down a little each time you brake. How would you not prevent them from rusting? Maybe make them out of stainless steel? But that would double the weight and triple the cost. Ain't gonna happen.
