I'm shopping around for the rotors,
I found some rotors are Silver Zinc coated, some are without.

is it that important the rotors should come with it?
I think the OEM are come without the silver zinc, right?

anyone can give me some ideas..

Thanks

I think Zinc coating prevents formation of rust. At least that's what I've seen as advertised. I currently have zinc coated rotors and I've yet to see rust on them. This is comparison to the cheapest rotor that a local shop put on one of my cars.
 
That zinc will probably get rubbed off in no time at all.... happened to my zinc plated rotors. At the end of the day, your rotors will only rust if you let your car sit for weeks through rain. And even then, once you drive your car out of the driveway and hit the brakes once, the rust will be gone.
