Default Vibration from wheels

Awhile ago I got into an accident. I was driving down a hill in the snow and lost control and did a complete 180 and and slid into a curb. I hit the front left wheel off the curb and absolutely destroyed it. The car jumped the curb and I ended up hitting a road sign and doing sme damage to the driver's side door. I got it all repaired. New wheel, paint job, the whole works. I even got an alignment to make sure everything was ok. My problem is though that I am getting a vibration from the wheel that hit the curb. It is more obvious from say 15-40 mph then goes away at higher speeds. I've asked two different mechanics about and they didn't have much of an answer for me except to try getting another alignment. I just bought new wheels for my car. FR500's 17 x 9 in the front and 17 x 10.5 in the back. I thought maybe the vibration was coming from the other wheels. I got another alignment and the vibrtation is still there. Anyone have any ideas as to what it could be?

yeah your wheel/wheels should be re balanced. If the car drives straight when the wheel is straight you shoudlnt need an alignment. I had the same wheel vib at about 50 and all it was, was the wheels needed to be balanced. good luck
