High speed vibrations Options

[Coligion]

My car just hit 96k miles, but this high speed vibration issue has always been a problem. When going over 55 mph, I'll get a ton of vibration from the steering wheel. I do have aftermarket wheels/tires. When I first bouht the wheels, I did not have centering rings and believed that would solve the problem. No dice. Even after getting the correct sized rings the car still vibrates. Before getting the rings, I did have the alignment and the wheels balanced. I wouldn't think inserting plastic hub-rings--in the center of wheel--could offset the balance, right? The shock/struts are relatively new, so it couldn't be that. Also, the car had this vibration problem even with the original wheels....Any helpful advice is appreciated.

Interesting, I've got the same problem: I know that it is not related to the size of the wheels. I drive my Celi on 18'" summer rims wrapped in Toyo Proxes and also on winter 15" rims wrapped in Hancooks.
The problem persists in driving on both sets of rims. I thought I was the only one with this problem...
