Also lol at the confusion between road force and wheel weights 2lb of lead on a rim, lowest a mechanic has ever seen!? Would be so funny to see.
This is a good point and the fact you just changed them recently makes me think whomever swapped the rotors didn't spend the time to clean up the surface of the hub. You could have high spots from rust or debris interfering with the mating surface for your rotors causing the vibration. This would never be picked up by the balancer as he removes the wheels to balance. If you've owned the car from new and know it has never hit a curb badly it probably isn't a bent hub.
