If you are sure the tire was balanced properly, you may have other problems - worn suspension parts, bad tire, &c. First thing I'd so is get the tires inspected and balance re-checked. If vibration persists, I'd look at the suspension.
that's what I'm def going to do first is recheck the balancing. I know that there are no suspension issues because it was smooth as glass before I put my work wheels on. I'm just hoping that there's no issue with the craftsmanship of the wheel itself. I know Work is a reputible company, but it can happen.
