Car kinda wobbles a bit at low speed and the wheel vibrates a small bit at 75+ MPH progressively getting worse until about 100, after having my rubber mounted and balanced i drove it and it was horrible, so i took it back and had them rebalance them, they showed me they were 0,0 (100% performance balanced) got back on the road and it continued.

Note: I use to run factory mags in horrible condition and my car ran smooth

OEM wheels?

Is the center bore of the wheel larger than the hub bore? (does the wheel's center fit perfectly on the hub?)

If it's larger you'll need to get some hub-centric rings to get rid of the vibration.

For example - My wheels have a center bore of 73mm. My hub is 56.1mm. So I have a hub-centric ring that brings the wheel hub from 73 down to 56.1
