Paint the rotor hats with your favorite color rustoleum or equivalent. Makes the car look cooler, solves any wheel to rotor surface problems, keeps the rotors looking sweet their entire life.

I don't own it anymore, you can see the black rotor hat peeking out of the top of this one.

Here's what I'm referring to. The arrow is pointing right at where the tabs were ans I sanded them down.

I might just do that. Maybe match the caliper colors.

I also paint my rotor hats when I install new rotors. Nothing fancy, just flat black high temperature paint. It looks much better than surface rust.

You diffidently need to clean the corrosion off. I would clean that back side until it looked new again...deburr the lip and even use a clear lacquer coat to protect it. Since you are in New York I would even replace the lug nuts.
