Vibration from rear wheels????

Vibration started Sunday PM. Got the wheels balanced this AM. Still vibrating! It starts at 55mph. It really resonates in the car. Tires are 2 months old. Just got an alignment 2 weeks ago. Car has 40kmiles. If I let off the accelerator the noise is still there. What else should I check?

Maybe a bent in the rims? Or a bubble hole in the tires.

Rims are perfect as well as tires.

Is the car standard? No mods - no aftermarket wheels? no spacers? Have the tyres been checked for runout or out of round, delamination etc? Are you sure the vibration is coming from the rear wheels? Check rear gearbox mount, Donut behind the gearbox - propshaft.

Have you tried running front wheels on the back to see if the vibration moves axle?

Give us some more detail. Good Luck
