rx8 brake rotors issue

hello guys
i have a 2005 shinka rx8
i recently replaced the brake rotor by myself and i just realized these rotors are for non-sport models after installation,because looks so weird,they are very small,
is there any issue if i keep using them on my car?
thanks

they will be too small in dia and the pads will not sit on the rotors correctly.

You won't get the full contact of the brake pad on the rotor. Pad wear will suffer and there will be an increase in braking distance.
Go to Rotorpros (web search) and get a set of crossdrilled & slotted for around $120.
