Thats what a wave rotor is ment to stop... warping...
So theres to much metal in the out side dia of the disc..
when the disc heats up it exspands & as there is more metal
in the out side dia than the inside dia the outside can exspand feather
than the inside this uneven exspanding makes the outside exspand
more so it has to warp...

the true wave rotor has the cut out that have a two fold perpose
1.. reduces the amount of metal in the outside dia...
2.. gives a gap for the outside to exspand into..

disc rotors use to be made of the same stainless steel that pots etc
are made from & never had this prob so much... but the stainless was
not good for ware or friction..
