Have you had the tires road force balanced with any set? Get that done and it should help clear up the problem.
There is more information here on the board that details it.

See if this might apply to your situation:

My guess is if the problem is not seen with factory wheels, but is seen with aftermarket wheels, Ford might not go to great lengths to solve the problem.
Can't say I'd blame them. If any aftermarket items lead to problems, then the vehicle manufacturer is liable to tell you "don't use the aftermarket parts."
Let us know how it turns out.
