How are the rotors? If they have bad corrosion, pieces of the vane in the fronts can rust off, and pieces along the edge can flake off making them oob. Because of their rather small diameter, they won't show vibration until high speeds. Also check the back side of the front rotors to be sure nothing is stuck in the cooling vents that could cause it to be oob.

The rear are a single solid rotor, iirc. But they should be inspected for excessive rusting/flaking along the edges.

Another thing, check the clutch friction disk to be sure it has not lost a chunk of lining.

haha thats why I got them repaired and repainted. I also double checked them on the tire machine, no runout and the tires are good
If one or more wheels were repaired, I would swap on another set of wheels & tires. You don't know if they are oob from welding, and balancing may not eliminate the oob at high speeds, although it will feel balanced at lower highway speeds.
