What do you guys think about these brake rotors. They seem like a good deal to me, but I dont know about these things really. What do you guys think? My only concern is how big they will be. I dont want them to be smaller than stock

Cross drilled won't last long, IMO.
Just get some good name brand slotted rotors.

i wouldn't do it. Don't even know who makes them. If you're looking to upgrade, stick with a good name, but be prepared to spend some cash

They are probably OEM rotors that have been drilled and slotted.

I've got something similar on my Camry, but different company on eBay (Brakemotive). I think they're great for the price, and look good. I will tell you though when I'm braking hard at high speeds the rotors still start to vibrate from the heat, though Im sure the holes help with that.

Just FYI, you can't change the size of your rotors without changing the calipers or the mounting location of the calipers. Think about it. If the disk is thicker, then it won't fit between the pads. If you've ever changed pads, you'll know that you can barely get new pads on when the piston is all the way back in the caliper.

If you go larger in diameter, then it will hit the caliper, unless it moves out away from the center of rotation. So you would need a different mounting bracket or different caliper. So don't buy larger rotors unless you get a kit or something.

nice wheels! The only thing left now is to paint those calipers! everything looks brand new except for those :P Red calipers with that setup would look sick IMO
