Default 2005 Civic SE wheels are garbage

I got a EX SE sedan a few weeks ago and it had bad vibrations. Dealer took
a shot at balancing and it didn't work. Today (2nd visit), they gave me
the wheels off a new vehicle. It drove great.

I get home and I start thinking...hmmm, I have to be sure...so, I rotated
the wheels. Damn it! I knew it was too good to be true...there is a
slight vibration in the steering wheel. Not as bad as before, but still
there. I have an appt at a non-Honda shop tomorrow night to do a road-
force balance test on the set. Hopefully, they can nail the exact wheel(s)
in question.

Some of these wheels have so much weight on them.

Salesman: "Look, you get all of this in the EX SE for a just $400 more!"

Reality: The wheels are crap, costing 1/3 of those on the EX ($428 vs $157
MSRP).
