lack of spigot rings in alloys can cause excessive wheel wobble too

Like they say most likely simple wheel balance.

Knew mine wasn't as the whole car was shaking....turned out to be bent driveshafts, seen moving whilst running the car on the lift.
Solved by a quick n cheap visit to a local scrappy

Or when they are used on the wrong application

I had HORRIBLE wheel wobble once, took me a few goes of taking all wheels off, getting them rebalanced and eventually noticed spigot rings squashed onto each bell!!

Horribley Buggered Tyres as well will have your fillings shaking out.
What happens when you wear a set of tyres out on a track day and think "Ye i'm sure they will ok to get home on!!!"
