Vossen wheels suck!
They are taking off well, because they make cheaper wheels. Seriously. Around 2k cheaper than most other new wheels. Vossens are just around 2k. Are a 1 piece cast, and suck at doing that. Works, volks, iss forged, rays, hre wheels, etc. are 2 or 3 piece forged. Those are much better than cast wheels. Also those companies back up their wheels with mass testing. Done and done.

I've always been a fan of Forgestar for a quality and resonably priced - one piece forged wheel. Sets can be had for under $2K....

Yes forgestar wheels Are fairly well built. I trust them. For one piece forged I trust them, and enkei wheels and a handful of other brands. Don't trust many brands with my shoes. They keep you on the road. Don't skimp on them. Don't really skimp on tires or flipping lug nuts or studs. I can't count how many times people cheap out on wheels studs, and something goes wrong just to save 30 bucks. Certain parts I don't cheap out on.
is it just one wheel? u have 8 wheels correct? maybe u cud find the correct combo?

But 8 wheels and still problems... I tend to think the issue is with the installer and not manufacturer.
Was your installer able to balance them?
-If YES. Then wheels are fine, you have somethign wrong with your car. Worn out ball joints, shocks, bearings, bushings and tie rods can introduce vibrations that will feel like an out of balance condition.
-If NO. Then you never should have installed unbalanced wheels on your car in the first place. Take the tires off and perform runout tests. It will tell you if the problem is the rim or the tire.
General rule of thumb is that if you feel vibrations under 40mph, then you have a runout problem. If you feel vibrations over 40mph, then they are not balanced properly. If you feel vibrations at all speeds, then it is a mechanical issue.
Sounds like it is most likely you have a mechanical issue or incompetence with your installer.
