I would say re-check to make sure all the lugnuts are properly tightened and if it's still shaking then take it back and have the wheels re-balanced.

the lugnuts are definitely tightened and dey got balanced right in front of me before i put them on the car. can it be the alignment?

A couple things can cause vibration in the wheels:1) Did you get the right hub centric rings size for your rims/car?2) Check if you used the right lug nuts. Most aftermarket rims use tuner style.3) Most of the time, you need to have an alignment check whenever you make any changes to the suspension (wheels, springs, etc).

1) wheels might be bent. 2) hub bearings might be bad.
