Despite comments otherwise it is hard to believe the rotor warped from the lug nuts being overtorqued. Cars using sealed bearing hubs squeeze the center of the rotor between the hub flange and the wheel. This doesn't do anything to pull the rotor surface in any direction. With cars using a spindle with the bearing and lug bolts mounted in the rotor it might be possible to warp a rotor that is overtorqued.
