Vibration while driving

I just recently bought my rx8 and it has a vibration in the steering wheel and in the rear of the car.
I got my wheels balanced made it better but still got the vibration and they told me 1 wheel is bent in the rear. I'm going to replace that wheel pretty soon but any ideas where the vibration could come from in the steering wheel?
Any help is appreciated

The most common reason why the car vibrates when driving is the tires that are out of balance will typically vibrate at higher speeds. The vibration will not be noticeable until reaching 45 mph or higher. If vibration occurs at a wide range of speeds, then it's possible that you have a damaged tire, bent wheel or some other issue. If the tires are wearing unevenly across the tread, it's a wheel alignment issue or the tires are not properly inflated and have worn unevenly as a result.

It depends what kind of wheels your putting it into. Check with your local tire installer if it's adaptable with tpms.
