I bought a set of wheels from Discount Tire once... I'll not make that that mistake again. I ended up buying 5+ sets of centering rings and got the vibration down a LOT, but it never quite went away. They claimed the wheels were bent (wouldn't show the "bend" to me, either), though I never hit a pothole.
