It sounds like the wheel is not centered with respect to the axle, or a wheel is bent/warped.
Odds on that you are just centering them with the bolts or a plastic spigot ring. You need to make sure the wheel is exactly centred to with about 0.1mm when you torque up the wheel nuts. Sadly this is not possible with plastic or missing spigot rings - the wheel needs a metal to metal contact to hold it in position with no bolts present.
The old BBS wheels will have done this - checkout the back of the wheels - they match exactly a ring on the hubs.

plastic spigot rings are fine,ive always used them and if theyre the correct ones they dont break,unless you remove your wheels as much as an f1 team!
