Forgestar F15's with built in hubcentric rings. Yes proper pattern.

The pads were reset to full piston in position in the rotors so they'd easily go over the new rotors; therefore, the rotor was also firmly against the clean hub. I'll try re-torque nonetheless.

You got 2 options. True them up or take them back and get another set.
Figured on the same 2 options and shot a video over to Centric of the steering wheel shimmy. I'd like to be compensated for new rotors or the cost of having to their QC duties myself of course.
