highway vibration

yes, because that would solve anything
i would suggest rotating tires to see if it's a rim/tire that's now up front.
when did the vibration start?
stock wheels? the dents and crack could be the cause, it's hard to tell without seeing them though.
im going to assume the rest of the front end is tight. do you feel the vibration in the steering wheel or the seat?
what about the axles? are they throwing grease? i just fixed a car that had a bad vibration at higher speeds from a binding axle (wasnt throwing grease though)

so youve been on nice new smooth roads without washboarding and you still have the vibration?
since you mention its worse id question if its road force variation from where the belts overlap in the sidewalls.
you say you put 4 new tires on and its worse than before?
if your feeling it through the unibody as well as the steering wheel look closely at your sidewalls for a "tight" spot from the rim to the tread shoulder...if you have one it could be you need better quality tires
unless the rim beads are bent 1/8inch + (at the axial/inner bead) i dont see a vibration, ive seen folded over lips that drove with no vibration.

check for extra weights, you may have gotten a rebalance where a guy just hammers on a larger weight forcing you to come back some other time when he's hopefully not working lol
fresh mounted tires do have to take a set but even after 500miles they shouldnt be too far off 0
as he said worse rims on rear
