Í guess the balancing guy has checked everything out, but there is also a
possibility for separation or a flat spot in the tyre !
I bought a used car some years ago with some 75% left of the grooves in the
Cooper tyres that was on it, the needed a mile or two tho get round if the
car had been unused for a couple of days .......

Just to make sure that it really is the wheels that´s causing the trouble
I´d try to change between front and rear (on one side at the time to make
sure which wheel´s damaged ) or better still, borrow some wheels from a
friend whose rig is working and feel the difference - if any
- and go on from there
