Default Looking for some new rotors

Replacing the rotors on my car, but still haven't decided what to go with for replacements. Honestly, I absolutely hate that the hubs get so rusted. With my wheels, it's really visible and I'm looking to prevent that.

So- I'm looking for a new set (all 4) of rotors that are affordable and that, if possible, don't show as much wear as the OEM rotors I have on now. I'd love to get slotted rotors, but prices are pretty high and from my understanding they really don't matter too much on a stock daily driver car. Thanks!

That's exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks! Struggling to find some stock/affordable ones still. Looks like I might have to go the slotted route.

Look up R1 Rotors or Centric blanks.

I'm running Centric E coated blanks with Centric posi-quiet ceramic pads. It's a quiet, smooth setup. I get a trace ring of surface rust on the part of the rotor not wiped by the brake pad, but its not really obvious behind the stock rims. If you are running a rim that shows off the rotors, consider getting some of the Centric blanks that are completely painted; the paint comes off where the pad hits the rotor, leaving the rest protected against rust - at least that's what they looked to be; I saw them somewhere on the web but can't quite remember where. I'll add it if I can find it.

Had trouble finding Centric blanks for the 06 model. The R1 rotors are exactly what I'm looking for though, so I'll probably end up going that route. (For those curious, the Premium line are the ones that are e-coated)
