went back to the tire place , they told me one of the rims was bent...so went to a rim repair place( had to drive 50 miles each way),.. after working on it for 45 min ...he told me he couldnt fix it completely ...he called it 90% round. no improvement in vibrations though. drove straight to a roadforce balance place. they told me that 3 of the rims had some wobble but one was pretty bad..and this is not the one that i had fixed. vibrations have improved by about 80%.after roadforce balancing.
at this point not sure if I should just get new rims or try to get the bad one repaired. if the vibration goes away, should i still be concerned because most of the rims have some wobble i know someone on this thread had posted that he had two front rims for sale...are they still available?

Rims that wobble are going to wear the tires more than rims that do not. They will also cause more wear to the suspension components. If your plan is to replace 2 of the rims like the ones you have than you should wait to you should wait and get all 4 checked and straightened as needed
Since you are not sure of the mfg. of the rims and it is unlikely the previous owner damaged all 4 rims--I would make sure they are worth repairing. It may be you will be back to the same place before long.

i suspect that your rims are not OE rims - a few years back, I did an evasive maneuvre in Managua avoiding a percieved threat and banged the front right rim, so the tire popped... i took the rim to a repair place, and $20 later and all day later, they got the rim back into round shape again...
the point is - it is soooo hard to bend the OE rims, you really have to jump concrete curb at 50 MPH... once the repair was done, the rim stayed true to round shape... if you have 3 rims that are bend, the previous guy either had fun running the car on long stairs, up and down, or the rims are made of inferior material and do not stand the test of time and external force... my rims are plasti-dipped (not powder coated) and i sprayed plasti dip everywhere, including the holes... torqued fine, and no issues... you should start considering new set of rims, just to be on a safe side...
