This wouldn't be the cause of the vibration on the oem wheels tho. I'm thinking it's a wheel bearing or something suspension related.

This thread is mad old, we're talking to MarcoSilvio
The Cadiz wheels aren't all that strong. I bent the inner lip without knowing it happened--I found out it was bent when fixing some curb-rash. The wheel had less than 5,000 miles on it and never hit a "killer" pothole. It might be worth your while to take them off and do a good inspection.
I have inspected all the rims as well as a few shops. I just bought new tires they have all been balanced correctly as well as hand torqued to 88 ft lbs. Honestly the vibrations are so significant at times I feel unsafe to drive on the highway. My car is only 5 months old and 9k miles. Haven't hit any major potholes or taken in rough terrain. It's a little depressing if this is considered normal characteristic for the car.

I end up balancing the Tires again. Didn't really help.... I got VWR Springs installed now too and had the car realigned... High speed its still not a comfortable feel.... Honestly it's not that terrible but still a bit annoying when I notice it. I might just go to the dealership but now that I have VWR springs installed they will give me crap for that and blame them even though this was a pre-spring issue.
I just picked mine up today and drove it 3+ hours, horrible vibration from 60+ My legs and arms were shaking and the zipper on my jacket that I placed on the passenger seat was rattling away the whole way home.
I could feel the vibration through my seat and see the passenger headrest vibrating as well as the rear headrests. 19" OEM Englishtowns with shitty Continental run-flats, but I can't imagine this is within normal operating expectations. I'm pretty effin' pissed atm, will call the local dealer and make an appt. on Monday.
I would just go there on Monday and have them drive it. If you make an appointment and it takes some time until your appointment happens they could tell you that you must have hit a curb or something and that kind of problem isn't covered by the warranty. Actually I would go tomorrow.
