How would a reputable shop (Wheel Specialists, Tempe, AZ) verify that the straightening was effective? I would think without the tire mounted, but I didn't ask or witness it.
Unless extreme, I would tend to agree that alignment would not cause vibrations.

New wheels typically need 1/4oz weight to balance them, I would guess despite Wheel Specialists best efforts your rear wheels require a full 1oz just for the bare wheel.
Before debuting a unknown wheel on your car, always have it spun on a balancer & observe the up & down "hop", as well as the side to side movement to see what you are dealing with. Especially with new wheels since often they are non-returnable if a tire has been mounted.
