Vibrations in 1998 900SE T Coupe - Bent Rims?

Hi guys, this is my first posting here so hopefully I'm not breaking any netiquette for this BB. :-)
Anyways, I just recently purchased a used 1998 900SET Coupe. I've noticed a vibration through the car around 40mph. I took it to a tire shop today and had the tires rotated and rebalanced. They said that 3 of the rims were significantly out of true. The rebalancing smoothened things a bit, but it still vibrates a bit.
Has anyone experienced this kind of problem, and then had their tires re-trued - what was the result? The tire shop said my other components like steering linkages, cv joint, etc. appear ok... so if that was true, it seems that getting new rims and/or fixing my old ones should solve this. They said the NG 900 rim alloy is quite soft - is this true?
There's a few other niggly things that I've found with the car, but I'll post those on separate posts... :-)
