Have you had the wheels and tires checked on a Hunter balancing machine? This type of wheel/tire balancer balances using road force vibration to make sure that the wheel is balanced under load (not just balanced under a free spin with no load). Among other things, it checks to see if the wheel and tire assembly is out of round.
One thing you point out has my interest...you say that it only vibrates when you are giving the car gas...indicating the possibility that there may be something in the drivetrain that is vibrating under force load. This could be any of a number of things indluding an out of balance axle shaft assembly, a bad CV joint, etc... even the clutch slipping.
Had a problem on my last car where the steering wheel would vibrate under heavy acceleration, replacing the axle assembly on the one side fixed the problem...had a CV joint that went bad and was causing all kinds of vibration throughout the drivetrain.
I'm not trying to send you on a wild goose chase, but there are so many components in the front end of a front wheel drive car that could be causing vibration. I'd have the wheel and tire assembly checked on a Hunter balance machine first.
Also, are you feeling the vibration through the steering wheel or drive train?
