Alignment won't cause a vibration uunless your tires are badly feathered. The easiest way to check to see if you need hub centric rings is to: Thake the wheel off. Measure the vehicle hub diameter, measure the wheel hub diameter. If they are different, get rings.

Another way is to un-bolt the wheel, place it, flush on the hub and slide it up and down. Feel for the wheel sliding, if it does: get rings. Any tire dealer can get them for you.

Also check your front end: ball joints, tie rods, control arm bushings. To see if they're worn. Also: Did you get your brakes done recently? Unbalanced rotors can cause this too.

As an afterthought: Did you change the lug nuts when you swapped wheels? Most aftermarket wheels use cone seat lug nuts, and OE Honda uses ball seat. The wrong lugnuts could cause the wheel to not sit right @ the hub. And torque your lugs to 80ft/lbs.
