Default backend wiggling

Hi,
I recently put on series 1 wheels on my orion and if you hit a bump at 40+ the backend wiggles Is this a comon problem with putting on alloys on cars without em? Could it be the bushes or somthing like that?
Thanks

If it didnt do it before id check youve done the wheel bolts up tight enough pronto!
Check your tyre pressures,cant be much else if it didnt do it before.

Cheers for the replies, bolts are tight and pressures ok. I had a look at one of the bushes and looks bloody bad so that must be the prob!
Its quite scary bouncing towards cars
Thanks!
