Besides the fact that the pic displays a 4 bolt pattern instead of 5

I just purhased some off e-bay similar to yours but different company. I have had mine on with ceramic pads for a couple days now. So far so good. Size seemed great.
However, MAKE SURE THAT THEY ACTUALLY DO PUT ON THAT CHEMICAL THAT PREVENTS THEM FROM RUSTING.
I know there are a lot of rotors you can purchase cheap especially on e-bay that "mistakenly leave it out of their ad".

Drilled rotors of any kind are weaker than blanks. Further, these are no-name rotors (rest assured if they were "named" rotors, it's be mentioned). Brakes are probably the dumbest thing to skimp on known to man. After all, they only stop your 4000 lbs. moving @ 60, 80, 100, 140 or more MPH. Right where I'd want junk.

Glad for you, but I know people that have not changed their oil in a year and haven't blown up.... they think it's fine too. 
Facts are simple. Drilling and/or slotting removes mass from the rotor, that makes them more prone to warpage. Maybe you haven't gotten it, but it's more likely to happen. Also, there is less swept area for the pads to contact, and when I'm upgrading brake, I like to have as much pad to rotor contact area as possible. And lastly, these are modified OEM spec rotors. Boring holes and slots in them weakens the structure, and also in the case of drilling the holes create turbulence and air does not flow through the vanes as well as it should.
YMMV.
