Default em1 steering wheel vibration, searched now desperate

ok 2000 si:

the issue is vibration at throttle, highway speeds and highway speed braking

i checked the front end out, tie rods, ball joints, axles, and bearings. had the wheels rebalanced and then rotated when that didnt work. i did replace the axles because that is the only part i found any play in. which decreased the amount of vibration.

i am thinking:
my new tires are defective. last month i picked up 4 falken 912.
bent rims, lots of potholes here in canada ( bends could be unvisible to naked eye) i do not see any bends tho.

i am pretty stumped on what could be bad.

Have your toe adjusted,motor mounts, or your steering rack is loose.

Vibration during acceleration is often caused by worn CV joint(s).

Even if they feel tight and don't click and pop when you turn the wheel, they
still could be worn.

This.

I Also had vibration upon accleration which was my axles. I went through 2 sets of brand new (aftermarket) axle assemblies before I installed a set which were ok.

i swapped axles both sides, and then the drivers side again. there is no play in the axles/cv anymore.
