Has to be the bent rims....

Well, I installed new Brembo rotors (Front) on Sunday night, then new tires (Also on front) and the shake is still there. Anything above 60mph, and I'm getting vibration. On a scale of 1-10, I'd say the shake is a 4. Nothing major, but still annoying. The place that installed my tires said both front wheels were bent, with one being worse than the other.

Opinions? Suggestions?

get new rims. if they are bent they either need to be repaired (usually very expensive) or replaced. that is the only thing that will make the vibration stop

Arn't factory RIM's expensive? Unless your getting used, in which case they could also be bent.

Well, if your rear wheels aren't bent, swap them to the front and front to back. Since you're saying the shaking is minor, you won't feel it as much if they were in the rear. good luck to you!

Way ahead of you, boss. That's what I plan on doing now. No way my back rims could possibly be bent.
