could be one of your tires has a deformation like it has a bulge on the sidewall, or has separation...ask a tire shop to see if its still balanced.

since you got new rims, did you need hub centric rings for the rims?

I used to have the same problem. Wheel bearings will cause a "whirring" sound and a vibration at certain speeds.
