Running 195's on 15's and they still vibrate even after having them balanced last week, i think we have to live with it..

you shouldn't have to, I've had no problems with either of my alloys. Get them checked again.

I think I just accepted it in the end after taking to other people who said they had the same on the same roads.

Its possibly wishbone bush wear - this appears to be quite common on the polos :(
