I recently fitted new front Mintex discs, but was appalled to discover that after only one journey in the wet the central 'hub' area of the discs was entirely covered in a rusty colour. I can't believe it's a Mintex-only problem but anyone else experienced this? Is there a trick I've missed while fitting? Like smear the things in waterproof vaseline (not that I'd want to put anything like that near a braking surface). I'll have to get the wheels off again to inspect/clean, but reluctant to do that if they are just going to look rusty again soon. It just looks really cr4p.
On a side topic, one reason for replacing my old discs was that braking was uneven i.e. i think the old discs were warped as you could feel it in the brake pedal as the car slowed to a halt. I thought the new discs would sort that but it seems the problem is still there altho to a lesser extent. Could it be the alloys?
