Checked for an out-of-round tire, bent rim, missing hubcentric rings, or improper balance? Balancing them twice doesn't necessarily mean they were balanced properly.

the tire itself may be at fault. i have seen bad radial belts cause the same symptoms when using brand new tires.
agree with dave on the other points mentioned

Dead simple, I think in the colonies you call them hub-centric rings. The new wheel hub I.D. is slightly bigger than the hub itself,and the wheel bolts flex enough to allow the wheel to wobble,bet they are`nt E34 rims.In U.K. we get a machinist to run them up but you may be able to buy them.
