I had all kinds of problems getting the aftermarket wheels and tires balanced on my car. You can look for someone with a Hunter 9600 machine to balance them. That will get you close. However, you may be dealing with out of round tires. What kind of tires did you get? My first of aftermarket tires were Falkens -- and they were absolute garbage. Now I've got some Generals -- and they're great.
You may also double check the torque of the lugnuts. If they're too tight or done inconsistently, that could cause issues as well.
Hate to tell you, but unless you get lucky, you're looking at multiple trips to the store to get these things done right. When you go to your local tire shop, ask for their best man, usually the manager, to do the balancing.
Overall, just be methodical. See if the tires are out of round, Hunter 9600 balance, get somebody good to do the balance -- and make sure the lugs are tightened right. If the tires aren't any good, the best you can do is put up with a slight vibration until they're toast. Either that or buy tires from your local dealer and sent the mail order ones back.
