Baffling wheel shake!!

Hi, 2000 9-3 Convertible 38k miles.
Here is the history:
I have just upgraded rims from 15" to 215/45 r17. The rims arrived with tires, drove them-the shook, then proceeded to try to have them balanced three times to no avail. Bridgestone then upgraded the tires (assuming they were bad or cheap tires, Fuzion) to some good Potenza tires. Still the front end shakes from 50 to about 70, varying in intensity depending on acceleration etc. So now I have ruled out the tires. The Tire folks said the rims spun fine and did not appear to be out. However they do not test on the car, uh. The car does not have many miles on it and there was no shaking with the previous rim/tire set just 3 weeks ago!
so??
Could it be bad/cheap rims, that aren't centered right?
Something in the suspension screaming at the wider tire size?
Help!
Thanks
