I had terrible problems just like you with my Wilwood rotors.   You say 
that your rotors have very little runout, but is that measured on the car?   I 
think the problem may be caused by the hole in the center of the brake rotor 
hat being just slightly smaller than the opening in the hub, so that it 
doesn't quite sit perfectly?   (Somebody told me that once).   Another problem 
is that Wilwood rotors seem to move around a little when they are new; they 
warp slightly when they get hot.

I had my rotors turned once and it fixed the problem for a few hundred 
miles, then it came back.   Finally I took my car to a shop that turns the brake 
discs with them mounted on the car, instead of just turning the discs by 
themselves.   That fixed the problem forever!

I will send you an article with a photo of this machine....
