Gen6 alloy wheels problem - please help

Hi Everyone,
I'm having a problem with the aftermarket rims.
Here's my quick story. I bought aftermarket wheels for my new camry, I thought to leave manufacture michelins and save some money and go with same size alloys (16). After balancing and installing them I drove the car and felt huge difference, the steering wheel was shaking on 65. Then I did a little research and put the hub rings. It helped a bit, but vibration was stil present. I thought well these are not high end rims so I'll save some money and will buy good quality rims and tires another time, meanwhile put my michelins back on manufacture rims and vibration dissapeared.
Here we go, bought a new set of TSW brand rims, very high quality with new wheels Continental (the same as new cadillacs have). Thought that will be ok, it has hubrings and everything. Beautiful rims and tires and highest quality. Balanced them on high end balancing machine to make sure they are good, and the minute i drove i couldn't believe whats happening. Steering wheel is shaking again!!! I'm so dissapointed. According to balancing machine everything is fine, but for some reason car wouldn't accept anything than stocks!!! Is there anything else I need to do? Please help me who knows what the problem could be? I really don't know what else I can do about it. Put my stocks back and there is no vibration like never been there. I would appreciate if someone could help me with this problem. Thanks a lot for reading and thanks for answers in advance.
Best!!!!
Z

I had a set of American Racing Nitro wheels on my Ford Explorer Sport and had the same problem. No matter how many times and how many different types of balancing, there was always a vibration except with the stock wheels. Noboby ever figured it out. Even the most expensive alignment job wouldn't work. I guess some wheels and chassis' just don't work together.
