all 4 wheels warped!?!?

i bought some wheels from speedandstyle.com....that was
the problem in the first place. well i got the rims and noticed road
shake.....so i took them off and told them to get me the centric rings.
so they are shipping them......since its been a year since i got the wheels
i decided to have them re-balanced. wal-mart told me all wheels are
severly warped and would be dangerous to drive on...well, since its been
over a year since i bought them, im afraid they wont exchange them.....
the guy at wal-mart said that since there is no damage to any part of the
rims and that there is no burn or discoloration from heat warp....that the
cast that made the wheels was probably way off.......Is there anything I
can do to get these ppl to exchange this problem.....im in talks with them
but they havnt given me a yes or no.....they just said "well get back to you"
please help cuz i dont wanna be stuck with 17' five star door stops

I would first get a second opinion from a place better than Walmart. Not that I'm questioning the fine judgement of the Walmart auto department (sarcasm, real thick), I would look for the opinion of a wheel and tire place, or even a dealer if you want. I think it would take a little more pull before I believed every word I heard in Walmart. What kind of wheels are they? and did you try to get a hold of the manufacturer?
