agree, with whats said, if it was fine before but problem started after changing the alloys, it would suggest problem with the wheels such as balancing! You could try putting your old wheels back on and see if the problem stops to confirm diognosis. :D

could be balancing OR u could have put ur wheels on back to front! ! ! they usually say left or right on the tyre, make sure the tread pattern faces the right way, that can caused f**k steering
