Problem with Steering Wheel

I have been driving my car with shaky steering wheel for quite a long time, and I thought it was just worn out break pad, so couple of days ago I went to dealer and changed break pad for FREE? I didn't know break pad were covered under warranty. But the problem was he said my car has warped rotor so they fixed it and told that should be fine from now on. On the way back home driving about 50 mph my steering wheel went crazy!! It won't stop from shaking. So I called my dealer again and he said it could be caused by aftermarket wheels or when they( Local Tire shop ) installed them they didn't do alignment. I'm gonna go to Tire Shop tomorrow see if that's the case. Is anyone having this kind of problem with your aftermarket wheels? TSX...99 problems...BITCH there's another 1 !!!!!

The alignment usually will cause it to pull to one side or the other, but have them check the balance, that is what usually cases a steering wheel to shake.

Are your aftermarket wheels hub centric? If not, do you have the correct hub rings?
