Default Steering wheel vibration with Vossen CV7.. help

Hi everyone.. I'm foreign user from Azerbaijan Republic.. I got Vossen CV7 wrapped with Nitto Invo tires two weeks ago (front: 245/35 R20, rear: 285/30 R20).. For the few days there was no any problem... But now its almost 4 days that i feel a little bit vibration of steering wheel.. I did almost everything.. Wheel alignment, wheel balance and so on.. But it doesn't help..
The roads in my location is not in good condition.. There are many bumpy road.. But i drive very accurately.. And there is no any damage in wheels. Need your help.. Is there any idea to solve it out?

P.S. i know that i fail in English.. Sorry for that..

You have the hub centric rings installed on your wheels right? If not, I would guess that is your problem. Also do you notice this in the morning time by any chance?

Yes sir! what that will do is allow your wheel to be mounted correctly. If you had 4 yellow rings, im sure those were them. take your wheels off and put the rings on the inside of your wheels and pop them on. This will take care of your problem.

Get the rims/tires road force on those hunter road force machines and not those cheaper dynamic balancers. The road force balancers will optimize the tires on the rims for a smoother ride. Anything greater than 10 lbs of downwards road force will vibrate the steering wheel on the Lexus sedans even if its perfectly balanced dynamically with the weights. I know this from experience from many of my luxury cars and low profile rims and tires.

Do you make wheels that are fitted to the cars hub, or do you have to run hub rings on Lexus's. Being the wheels are made to order, can they be made with exact offsets and hub size?
