The rotor seemed to seat around the hub lip and I tightened the wheel by hand. There is no wobble or vibration. Thanks Rod.
most new rotors have a film on them(so not to rust while sitting on the self)this should be cleaned before installation.not much you can do at this point,unless you remove & clean rotors & sand pads.this film is a oily
substance so it may make the brakes not grab/stop properly
