Black brake rotors

These black brake rotors I see online will they actually stay black or rust or does anyone know?

Only the part that doesn't make contact with the pad will stay black. All steel rotors will rust when they sit.

Yes they are, they allow heat to escape causing cooler braking, longer life, and of course sweet looking behind the wheels

Drilled rotors I had on my Lightning cracked. I will never buy drilled rotors again. Less than 10k miles on them. I was using hawk pads. It wasn't the pad being to harsh on the rotor. These were not cheap Chinese knock offs.

Drilled/slotted rotors are a no go as far as I'm concerned. Especially for a street car. They look good, but that's it. They don't stop your car any faster, and are way more likely to crack.
