If its only surface rust don't worry about it. That will come off the first time use use your brakes. My front discs rust in seconds every time i wash my car. Nothing to worry about.

Wire wool spray with WD40 if you aren't going to use them for a while, and they are off the car.

Don't forget to clean it off with meths, brake cleaner etc before fitting them.

DON'T spray with WD40 if the pads are anywhere near, ie: on the car
