Thank you to all of you that have posted replies so far!
I am still dealing with a shaking car. The place which sold me the car is under investigation now as a result of selling me a vehicle with a bent rim. That is nice, but does not resolve my issue. I have had my factory rims and tires rebalanced, again, as per the GM dealership recommendation, but they noted that since the original place of purchase switched the rims are tires with another car on their lot, I have mismatched tires and that they would not pursue with investigating the issue until I replace them with all matching tires. So on my aftermarket rims, I have had one tire with out of round replaced and I have had one rim replaced, and rebalanced about 3 times all at different shops. Brought it back to the dealership. They road-forced balanced my aftermarket tires and rims at no charge. The issue still remains. So on Monday, they are providing me with a rental car, and taking mine in. Apparently my car still has warranty- which a different dealer had initially said it did not. Note that I am putting 1600km weekly on my car, and have full warranty til 80,000 km, and powertrain to 100,000 km, but I am at 73,000 already.
Anyway, once this is actually figured out I will post an update. I do suspect alignment, despite that the car drives straight at any speed, no pulling etc... otherwise as mentioned above by 14blackgs, Constant Velocity axles, or defective /damaged wheel bearings.
On a slight separate note, they mentioned extended warranty to 180.000 km for an additional $5000.... its a lot of money , debating if this is even worth it.
