Not inexpensive lol.

First I fixed my OEM rims (rip-off because they didn’t do a complete job)

Second I got all my brakes replaced since my rotors were warped

Third got new front tires

Fourth got new rims

Fifth got road force balance, which was $300

Next future step is get the Continental Extremecontact tires.

BTW if you’re in the NY area and need road force balancing done I highly recommend The Wheel Doctor. That man knows everything about wheels, everything! Plus his customer service is out of this world. Really nice guy.

Congrats, indeed expensive, but finally enjoying your car = priceless. Mine came with a Dunlop Maxx when i got it, prior owner just got all 4 changed according to the Lexus service history, but the ride didn't just feel right for me.. after throwing everything at it - replacing rotors, brakes, balancing, checking everything at different shops and nobody finding any issues.. replacing the damn tires finally gave me the joy i have been sleepless about. Enjoy.

First I fixed my OEM rims (rip-off because they didn’t do a complete job) - if they were bent and you wanted to keep them, then fixing them was money well spent...the fact the repair facility sucked and did a poor job is beyond your control

Second I got all my brakes replaced since my rotors were warped - if the rotors were warped it would have had to be addressed anyways, so whether now or later it was still a necessary repair

Third got new front tires - considering what the old tires went through, not a bad call to replace them

Fourth got new rims - who doesn't want new rims?!

Fifth got road force balance, which was $300 - maybe a little on the expensive side, but market pricing is likely at play here...but, the end result fixed your issue, so money well spent still

@ @Jatnieln prolly don't wanna hear this (lol) but after all that time, effort, & money, might be worth it to go a tiny bit further and get a 4-wheel alignment to preserve all that work.
