OEM Rotor warping?

I've replaced my rotors twice with OEM direct replacements. At first it's all good but after a while they start to vibrate the steering wheel when I brake.
Do I need to just invest in aftermarket rotors to fix this problem or do I have a bigger problem then I think?
Thanks in advance.

OEM rotors suck plain and simple. I bought my rotors from autozone almost two years ago and they have been cut 2 times and they still haven't warped on me.

OEMs suck. Go aftermarket, something like rotora or brembo blanks

The set I got now are from NAPA auto parts. And they've warped too. So just another aftermarket rotor will fix it? Thanks guys.

Try something like the PowerSlot brand, as the grooves allow gasses to escape easily, keeping the rotor cooler. That is what I plan to install if I can get the transmission fixed for free, approaching 150k...

Try Raybestos the cheap one. Raybestos have the expensive rotors too, I think it is even better than brembo. I was on the GM forum getting some help for my truck, and GM rotors are warping too. They all went with raybestos because it is American made; the real steel, and they all have good results.
