I would imagine that the problem is because of the low profile on the tire. You feel everything a little bit more because there isnt very much rubber between the road and the rim. New shocks may not hurt, but if the issue you are feeling are from your rims, they wont make a difference. I would suggest just getting used to it, and try not to hit any bumps too hard. You can bend a rim pretty easily.
