I also hate vibration too. I am sensitive and know how a bent rim is felt. I have not had that issue on the 18 inch rims on the S550 but with the 19 inch and soft tires this has happened. Mercedes S classes are sensitive and you have to use the Hunter Road force balancers to make sure the rims are bend and the tires are not out of round. I choose michelin tires because they are rounder and provided better cushioning of my rims as opposed to the softer continentals and pirelli tires when I drive on bad roads. This allows me to avoid bent rims.
