2007 CLK 350 Convertible vibration at lower speeds?

Just noticed this the last few times I have been in the car with my GF (its her car) and I drove it yesterday. Vibration is almost as if your driving on a very fine rumble strip. Its most noticeable at 35-40 mph. I put the car in neutral and no change in vibration so its not the drive train. Also doesn't change when the brakes are applied. Also does not change

Last week sometime she hit a rather bad pothole that I just remembered her telling me about. I will check the tires/rims when I get home for damage, but I am wondering if there are any specific locations to look for damage on this suspension that might cause vibration?


Thanks!

Do the logical stuff first.

Bubble on tire, bent rim, missing balance weights.

Update on this.

4 bent rims. Most likely not all bent at the same time, but the GF is an aggressive driver and is down in NYC/Jersy a lot so that's to be expected.

Dealship is having them straightened for 100$ each, which isnt bad actually given that I have looked into having rims done myself and that was around what I was quoted a few years ago.
