Check to be sure the wheels have hub bore adapters if they are needed and then correct the balancing. Have the shop rotate the assembly 180 degrees after it is balanced, spin again and the assembly should be balanced, if off either their equipment is out of spec or the wheel center is not perfect. You can try an adapter that bolts to the balancer and is attached through the lug holes to be sure. Also a Hunter Road Force balancer will do wonders, but the rotation test should be done with any balancer at least once. Its overkill, but if on the balancer, at least it's worth the effort to be certain the assembly is correct.

By any chance, did you observe the condition when you travel with passengers in the back? There's some comments regarding this "problem" with the TL suspension.

I had a wobble and takin my wheels in for a balance and they found a bent rim so i bought one and had it ballanced and still had some minor shake...i took my car to my trusted tire place and they found all tires were unbalance one was 3oz. off..so they rebalanced them but i watched every tire and saw that my front left tire had been balanced but i could also see that it was bent....this makes me think that even if rim is balance it doenst mean its not bent, it was just countered by weights..and now the tire sits on the bead a lil lop sided the bent rim makes the tire contact the ground funny....Im not going to waste any more money on stock rims..

my solution is going to be ride it out...my coil overs are purcased and once i install them and save up money for aftermarket rims i will install two front wheel bearings with the new rims. just incase the shaking has worn them down..

wow.... you was right "turbonut" and "caliwowie", my wheels was bent and they tried to fix it, but unfortunately, they destroyed the rim completely... so the shop owner paid me my 1300 back (i bought the wheels there), and gave me his son's tsx wheels to ride on for now... it was an experience... but saved me a headache... thanks guys
