Frankly, these will just wear out faster and are a waste of time/money- unless you're just going for a particular aesthetic on your.... Nissan Altima 🙄

I guess ok if you plan to sell the car but even then I would not do without telling the buyer.
Cheap rotors have some big drawbacks for aggressive drivers, they indeed tend to do things like shear the disc from the hub unlike OEM ones that will likely never do that, ever. I have had it happen twice (the cheap replacement rotors were only a couple years old aswell) Bear in mind that as you mention the cheap ones rust fast from garbage metal and when the rust happens the thickness changes - but not where the pad is resting. So a cheap pad on a vehicle that doesn't get used much and sits outside is a bad situation a few months after they were just put on new.
I've installed dozens of cheap rotors and powerstop is the cheapest I will go these days as of a couple years ago when I got sick of rotors warping that have no reason to be.

1. At the time at least, they packaged the rotors and pads in the same box. The rotors crushed the pads boxes. Luckily nothing was damaged.
2. Drilled/slotted rotors are directional. One kit sent me two passenger side rotors. My only option was to return and replace which was frustrating but moreso led to quality control issues.
3rd issue wasn't the fault of the pads but just a pro tip. Grab a set of rotor screws off Amazon if you order. I had one strip out when trying to remove. Was easy enough to drill out and remove but still had to make a trip to the auto store to get a replacement screw and if you only have one vehicle this is difficult if your wheels and brakes are off. Save yourself the headache. Always good to replace them with new screws anyway and it's only a few bucks.
While your at it get some gloves, brake cleaner and grease and clean and grease your caliper pins to prevent seizing. The extra $10 and 5m of work can save a lot of grief down the road. Use the gloves! The cleaners are pretty harsh stuff.

It will be fine. Every rotor on the market is made by Centric. Just about. Pad compound is most important for an everyday driver. Just go o.e. You starting to get me thinking now lol
Here are some other tools that are necessary on top of your typical tool kit.
* A piston press – $20 on amazon. Most caliper pistons require LH or RH turning while compressing to accommodate the pad material
* An S-biner or heavy-duty hanger to hang the caliper
* a syringe to remove excess brake fluid (avoid overflowing at the master cylinder).
Even a n00b can do 1 axle in 2 hours. It's a great way to improve your skills & pay more attention to your cars maintenance. I identified some other minor issues while I had my wheels off that other mechanics were overlooking.

What's next upgrade your brake lines to SS?
Just buy it if it fits your vehicle. Heck of a deal
