The problem is most likely caused by the tires, not the rims.

The last time I replaced my tires, the new ones were out of round and the
tire shop immediately request a replacement to be sent. However, the
replacement was also 'out of round'. It appeared that the entire shipment
from the supplier was bad...

The tricky aspect about these tires that are 'out of round' is that they'll
appear acceptable when new, but rapidly get worst over time. So, a shady
tire shop could sell these defective tires and it would take several month
for the defect to become apparent (in the form of vibration), at which
point, it would be too late for you to get your money back.
