I had the same thing happen to me. I don't remember what brand, but one rotor was so warped that I'd actually call it bent. I put it on and it spun it with just the caliper bracket on, and it actually hit the bracket on one side. There was no doubt that they were warped out of the box.

From what I found out, sometimes if they aren't stacked properly in the factory, all the weight sitting on them unevenly can actually warp, or bend them.

I had to run to the auto parts store and get cheap ones to get me to my track event, which I quickly cracked.
