Anyone else experience vibrations with aftermarket wheels/tires?

So, contacted discount and they are encouraging me to pick different wheels. They said they work with a local truck shop who only uses Fuels because they include hub centric rings with their wheels...and they rarely hear of problems.
Never knew that , but yah...
I then called CJC to pick their brains. They said they sell TONS of method wheels like 10 to 1 over fuels and rarely hear of issues. They encouraged me to drop the PSI waaaaaaaay down and see how it drove. They suggest 50psi F and 40 psi R. I did that, and the truck seems much smoother. I am going to drive some of the roads where I felt the vibe the worst and then see. I have driven it all weekend but only highway speeds where the vibe didnt exist.
I just put Method NV HD 305’s and Nitto Ridge Grapplers 285/75/18’s on my new 3500 SRW. PSI at 65F and 55R. No issues. No vibrations. 600 miles so far.
 
You must be running 8 ply then because I have 12 ply toyo's and I run the at 65 front and 55 rear. They ride better then my stock tires by far.

Yep. 37"x12.50x17 Yoko AT-X, D2 (8 ply, 124 load index)

What is the load rating on those compared to stock 10 ply's ? I would worry about overloading them with the big heavy trailers i pull but maybe you don't do that.
 
Fuel does not include the hub centric rings with there wheels , I have bought three sets of them and none of them come with them but I purchased my own and it made all the difference in the world and I've never heard of anybody having problems with fuel wheels so I'm not sure on that.
Actually there are quite a few reports of Fuel wheels cracking. You can find instances of Raceline and Methods cracking too though. Good idea to inspect wheels occasionally.

I don't pull big trailers. They are rated for 3525 lbs at 50psi, which is more than enough for me. I want some flex when I air down. If I towed more I would have probably gone for 18" wheels and a tire in the E flavor.
