New wheel problem

I bought a set of new wheels about a month and a half ago and they've only been on my bike about a month. I've not really done any extreme rides on them yet and i mainly ride XC.
I've noticed that they seem to have a slight wobble on them, like there buckled, on ever so slight but its making life hell for my front disc brake and i'm planning on getting a disc on the back too soon but don't want the same problem!
I've checked the spokes and there aren't any loose or bent ones and the squewers are resting correctly in the frame and forks as far as i can tell. Do you think i might have been sold dodgy wheels?!!
These are what i bought:

I love the sound my tyres make on dusty single track!

If the disc is moving either the hubs are lose (check the bearings) or you have bent the disc.
the spokes have nothing to do with the disc."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

ok thanks, i'm pretty certain i haven't bent the disc, i'll look on park tools to find out what to look for when checking the bearings!I love the sound my tyres make on dusty single track!0
