Either the wheel or tire is very bad, and if new would be a parts warranty issue from the supplier.

What you NEED to do is have the wheels in question measured for out of round by a good tire shop with a road force balancer which will tell you which aspect is that far out whether it is a bent wheel, bad tire or the original tire shop improperly mounted/balanced the wheel.

Sorry, just read the whole thread, it seems you have 2 problems, 1 is you need the hub-centric rings. 2 is the bad balance issue.
This is all true. Some funky wheels causing a problem compounded by a balancer guy who probably is over his head (or maybe would get fired if he told you the truth). A decent, round wheel with non-defective tires can be perfectly balanced with very few weights.

The wheels look great though. Too bad there is a problem.
