Sure about that number?  We had some plates ground a while back and took some measurements of re-ground used and brand new OE plates.  We found a new set of OE plate to be about 12 Ra (micro-inches) on average.  Our guy got the used plates to an average of 8 Ra.
The rough correlation between the RMS and Ra is around 11%.  So our measurements for the stock plate would roughly be 13 RMS.
They look to good to be as bad as your measurement would suggest.
