Damn they need to fix the notifications 'cause I never saw this...sorry...
I received my Warp 9 rear wheel in May while I was off-work for the flood cleanup in Millington so I never got around to installing the darned thing. I was running with my Kenda 270 on the rear 17" while running the SM-Pro wheel I got from Wheeling Cycle Supply up front with a Michelin AC10.
When I finally got around to installing the Warp 9 rear wheel, at the end of June, I got a rude surprise in that the rotor they installed on the wheel was about 9.5", instead of 9". This size difference meant the "wave" portion of the rotor made contact with the pin that holds the brake pads in the calipers and wouldn't let the wheel spin.
I contacted Jason, at Warp 9, and he is sending me a new, proper sized rotor. Until I receive and install it, I can't really comment on its performance for "this" bike, but I can say their support after the sale is top-notch.
I used another wheel company called "Pro Wheel" when I did my frame off restoration for my 1998 YZ250

You can right-click the pics and choose "view picture" to get the full-sized shot so you can zoom in on the pic and see the Pro Wheel setup a bit closer.
I was very pleased with these wheels. I laced them and trued them myself, though I did have to have the shop adjust the offset a bit on the rear because I was "off" by about 1/3 of an inch.
