2005 Civic SE wheels are garbage

The retail price has no relevance to the quality of the wheels. What has
you convinced it's the wheels that are your problem?The problem you have is
most likely in the tires. That is where more than 90% of imbalance or
vibration problems will occur.
Go to another dealer if that one can't solve your problem. I would also go
to a tire store that sells the brand of tires on your car. If you have a
tire problem, they can warranty your tires. Honda does not warranty tires.
That is not to say they can't warranty your tires, but often they refer you
to the manufacturers representative which is the tire store selling your
brand. Unless, of course the dealer actually sells tires. Not all dealers
do. Check your owners manual and papers you got with your car. You will see
the warranty is with the tire manufacturer.

The amount of weight that has been put on the wheel to balance it. 60-75g
on one side of the wheel? Of course, some of the wheels have this and
exhibit no issues when rotated to the front.

The dealer is going to do the road force test/matching mounting procedures
next week so, hopefully, that will uncover the problem.

Honda is dropping the ball on quality again. A vehicle with bad
wheels should never have left the plant, let alone dealership! In
this case, you're lucky it was just wheels...

They're my tried a true Toyo Proxes FZ4 195/15/50. I've already gone through
2 sets and in the summer, I'll have to order another set. With my low
profile setup and tight suspension, the balance on those tires have to be
absolutely perfect or it'll register.

I drove on the 'out of round' tire while waiting for the replace to arrive.
The guy at the Tire Shop balanced it so that it would only vibrate at low
speeds which was less intrusive then having it vibrate at higher speeds.
