Metallic Clunking When braking...

\r\n \r\n if the rotor was not spinning true I would suggest either the rotor is not sitting flush on the hub (build up on the hub that was not cleaned off properly before installation of the new disc)
\nOtherwise it is possible you have bad wheel bearings.

\nDo you have any pic of the "grooving" I mean you say the "wheels" inside hub.. I guess I don\'t understand what part u are talking about.\r\n

I need some help diagnosing a bothersome "hopefully not safety related" metallic clunk when I'm braking, and I only hear it on braking. Noise is coming from the front, (maybe left side?). The sound is more evident when I'm gently stopping from a roll, not every time, but like every other time.

A few weeks back I've replaced pretty much the whole braking system on the Vert: lines, pads, rotors. I even got the master cylinder replaced just two days ago. When I bled the front left, I've noticed the wheel's inside hub to be a bit "chatter'ed" with some light grooving. I spun the rotor and it looks like the rotor isn't spinning in a "perfect" circle around the hub.

Could this be a wheel bearing issue, or a hub issue with my front right wheel? Or are there other areas of interest to inspect/check. Or do I need to check my work on the pads/rotors in that area again?

Kinda frustrating when you're in the driver's seat and trying to diagnose a sound from the front, when braking.

Thanks!
