rtp zinc drilled/slotted rotors shake when brake ....need help plzz

hey guys,
i have a 2002 maxima and i recently jus purchased rtp zinc drilled/slotted rotors from a fellow org member from the nyc forums.

he said they were slightly used with under 10k on them....they came off a 5th gen but said it will work fine on mine....there is a little differnce in size but they bolted on

so i put new pads, got 3 new tires mount/balanced, (1 tire still needs to be changed) and got an alignemnt.....now when i drive over 35 and brake i feel a slight shake/vibration in the steering wheel and brake pedal....

pepboys supposedly checked them and said they arent wrapped, but im not for sure if they actually checked them....my question is do you think the rotors are wrapped? or do i need to give the pads some to form to the rotors since they're used??

thanks alot for any help

The holes where drilled are possibly not chamfered. I've heard the vibrations caused called shimmy-ing.

How many miles do you have on your set of pads you are using?
