There's probably something stuck between a disk and the hub, preventing it from sitting flat. It should be easy to spot because you'll have monster runout on that disk. Take it back to whoever did the disks and get them to re-check the runout. If it turns out to be bad, ask them why they didn't spot it in the first place... Cheers, Colin.
