Why would wheels only vibrate while under increasing throttle? Either they are balanced or not....they would vibrate going along at 50mph and putting it in neutral as well as any other car moving scenario if they were damaged No??.
The vibration on my car happens only when giving throttle to the car? Does this make sense or am I missing something you are saying?

Well, honestly, it is only rotating parts that vibrate. It could be completely possible the rims are bent or they're not. I've heard of rims doing vibrations at speeds such as yours. Dealer did two alignments and balances before they said the rims were bent.

A careful inspection of the flex disks might be in the cards. Torque and loading them might put the driveshaft a little off centre if they have deteriorated to any extent.
