Thanks guys,
I got a few interesting answers; trailing arm bushings, tire separation, bad
wheel, wrong wheel.
It has steel wheels I got from a '78 bus that had great tires.  It wobbled
the same before with the old ones.  I was hoping, I will eliminate wheel and
tire problem at once.  Nice tires, not 100% round but I never had very
perfect ones before either.
Can it be trailing arm bushing?
Or did I get tire separation again, like the old tires I had?
Zoltan

Bent wheel?

Did you replace the tires with new - or did you put on used tires.  A low
speed wobble is usually a tread separation.
