Anyone have experience with / recommendations about these rotors?

Yikes. Unknown rotors, unknown pads, and a claim that chamfered holes "disapate heat."

If it sounds too good to be true.... brakes are an area where I'll happily spend the money on known-good parts.

I bought some no-name rotors for my S4 off of eBay. Made in China and warped within a month.

They will not fit , 6 stud holes ? Wrong shape / size pads .
If they can't be bothered to show a real photo ...

And I looked up the phone number , no results .

My skimping on brakes was calling pelican and buying the less expensive rotors they sell...Thats about as far down the less expensive scale as I want to get with brakes and safety performance. Good quality product, and less expensive cuz it's no frills, not less expensive because they make them cheeper and with lower quality control...

And as far as pads go - I had a set of six piston Brembo calipers on an Audi A8 - the first set of pads i had was a good set of pads, and it stopped well and had good brake feel etc...as you'd expect after a very expensive brake upgrade....then I got cheep and bought a new set of pads when the time came, from the cheepest source I could find...and guess what - horibble brake feel, horrible stopping power, and all mushy...so why have a massive set of brakes if the performance is going to suck? Just sayin....

I bought rotors for my Range rover from advance brake technology on fleabay(no affiliation) and they are great

I bought cheaper rotors from brakeperformance.com - they were quite inexpensive at the time, not sure if they still are. I avoided drilled rotors because I didn't want to worry about cracks.

2 years and ~20,000km on them so far, no problems, no abnormal wear or warping. Coating on the hat has held up well.

YMMV

Seems like brakes are one of those area's where going cheap is never a good idea. Personally, the ability to stop in the shortest distance possible is worth the extra few bucks.

My motto ... "When you buy quality, you only cry once - the first time"

So ask the guy who bought them how he uses his brakes; some people drive their cars only on sunny days and cringe if they get within 1500 RPM of redline.

I bought a cheap one and hammer it; no way in hell am I putting questionable brake (or any other) parts into it. Given your hardware list I'd expect you to want max performance as well and when it comes to brakes the stakes are high. Make your choice, pay your money, and get back to us.
