I'd like to get a whole bunch of these to stock up, but for some reason they don't list the size.

Even if you'd won the lottery, there's no point in stocking up on inferior rotors over MT900 or CL900.

I bought some in case I ever have a bike with disc brakes. At that price I'd be foolish not to.

Goodness. That's funny.

However the size is listed as 160mm.
