Arrow W250 rotors on a D250?? Will it work?

I've been having issues with rotors warping real bad on my 91.5 dodge d250. I get this wobble real bad when I slow down quick an also a shaking steering wheel. I know if it's doing all of that the rotors have to be warp, right? We'll it's done this to me twice now on two different times now. We'll I'm quite tired of it an would like to see if anyone out thinks the w250- w350 rotors will work on a
D250? I know there a few differences in the sets of rotors D250 an W250. Like the diameter of one is (D250) 12.82 an the (W250)12.87, an the rotor thickness in the D250 is 1.25 an the rotor thickness for the W250 is 1.50. Which tells me the w250 is a much heavier duty rotor the structure of the w250 rotor is a lot better than the d250 rotor. Am I making any sense here, I'm sorry I'm not a great writer by any means. Good at a lot of other things than this.
I would like to change my studs over to while I'm in there so I can run the factory center caps. See what y'all recommend for studs an nuts?

Thank you all.
John

One problem I have seen is that if the lug nuts aren't torqued evenly the rotors warp. My dads W250 and Dakota both have warped rotors(He thinks torqueing lug nuts is dumb) on the other hand My D250 is on it's second set of rotors and stops like new no wobbles. I torque my wheels myself. Especially after it has been at a tire shop!

That said if the rotors are Chinese that speaks for it's self
