Default wheel vibration?
I got the wheels re balanced/alignment done/ tightened all the bolts on the susp. And it still have a very slight vibration at 40-50mph. Its not horrible, but its noticeable. What else should i look into?

Did you remove the lug retainer clips when upgrading to aftermarket wheels or installation of wheel spacers?

Correct. They are not on every stud. If they were not removed, the wheel cannot be flush against the hub/disc.
