Rust ring on front rotors/ intro!

Hi guys, first post will serve as my intro as well.

My name is Kaili I live in sunny Colorado and I just traded my '11 Camaro in for an 03 Boxster S. Love it but my breaks squeak and with the top down it's annoying.

Been searching all over for 2 days trying to find an answer to this so here we go:

Break pads look new but the front rotors have a ring of rust near the hub on the surface of the rotor about 1/4" wide. I assume the pad isn't making contact there and I'm worried about it. Still breaking breaks in just not sure if that rust is gonna go away. As for the surface, the rotor feels good. Besides the pads being new this rust might account for the squeaking but I really don't know.

Car has 56k miles. Looks like the dealer or someone put new all seasons on it and didn't balance it either so I need to find someone to balance my wheels for me. Never really had to deal with that before.

Thanks guys!
