check the complete alignment of the frameset, when the wheel is fully aligned using that tool you sited (the mechanic of the store uses parktool)

Check the aligned of the seatstay (and seat post); the aligned of the fork too, and the aligned of the headtube. All the aligned of the frameset and wheel, when the wheel are perfect centred with the professionals tools.

In the City Tour 17" (whith yellow details) are perfect. In the Caloi SuperCross too, perfectly aligned. BUT in the Sense Activ and in the Caloi City Tour 15" - the last one -, aren't aligned. And is impossible take a aligned photo in this frames, like i said i try a lot and is impossible.

If i do that, the wheel don't be aligned in the parktool tool.

You said you checked the spoke alignment, but I don't understand quite what that means. You (or a bike shop) should be able to change the dish of a wheel by a moderate amount by using spoke tension alone. Park Tool has a great video on this:

When I say that I have checked the alignment of the spokes, I mean that a professional has centered the wheel, using a professional tool (parktool), and that, with the wheel centered, the tension of the spokes has been adjusted and is adequate. Even so, the wheel does not align with the rest of the frame. If I try to compensate for the wheel misalignment with the frame, the wheel doesn't be ok in the parktool tool. And even trying to compensate, it's not perfect, because the problem is in the alignment of the frame, really. If looks ok after compensate, but the wheel dont't be aligned in the parktool tool, I dont like, because wasn't realy ok.
