I remember that you bought your vehicle with those aftermarket wheels. Are they 7 or 8 inches wide? Did you get them balanced?
I think 225 is a little too narrow for an 8" wide wheel. Now if they're 7" you should be fine.
Small FYI: our rear tire size is 225/50-18 on a 7" wide wheel from the factory.

If it took 50 miles for it to start happening, maybe a weight fell off? Check the sidewalls for any bulges? Check lugnut torque? I'd take it back to the tire place and have them check the balance. They'll be able to let you know if it is a balance weight issue or a tire issue (shifted band, etc.)
If balancing checks out, I'd look at how the wheels are bolting to the car to make sure there aren't any issues there.
