Here is an e-mail from the guy I bought the rotors from. Not sure what to make of it.

during this first 100-200, you will feel the vibration and pulsation
when you brake. you will also see the black circular marks on the
braking surface area. but they will be wash off by your brake pads.
do not panic yet, let these rotors run for a few hundreds, let them
brake-in.
if the problem continues after 200 miles, please email me back.
thanks,
