Default Dumb question about accord brake rotors..

ok ive been looking all over the internet for some replacement brake rotors for my 97 accord ex, and I know the wheels are 4 lug, but all the rotors ive been finding online when I put my year and make on these sites are all 5 hole.. isnt the rotor supposed to have 4 holes like the rim? Im new to repairing cars... I dont even know if that made any sense lol Please let me know.,

Yes the correct rotors are 4 lug for your year

it took me about 30 seconds to find this for you.

Its possible whatever site you are using is just using a generic brake rotor picture so they dont have to take a picture of every brake rotor for every car.

that is very likely as well.

I like using Autozones website.

They allow you to save your car so whenever you search for a part - like "rotors" and it only pulls up brake rotors just for the car you have saved.
Plus they seem to have a good photo for each item.

Often I take the manufacturer part # from the description and type it into ebay and find the same part for less money.
