Wheel vibrations

I just bought a set of used tires and rims for my 05 acura tl and it seems like there is a faint vibration at around highway speed and slow 10-15 mph city speed. I did just order the right hubcentric rings from tirerack for it as well 64.1. The rims are Sport Edition SE14 18in +35 offset.

Should I just take it in to have the wheels re-balanced?

Thanks.

Re balance them, and while they are being balanced, check to see if all the wheels are true!! Even the slightest imperfection or dent in a wheel and you will feel a vibration, specially on the steering wheel!! Good luck!!

Where is the vibration felt? Steering wheel or in the seat?

Probably balance, have them rebalanced:

Remember that used tires are a crap shoot, meaning if the donor car isn't set exactly to your specs and wheels/tires are installed at different corners, chances are they're not going to be smooth.
