If the rims are true then look at the tires. I had a similar experience
once when I was working on the alignment of my van. I was positive I had
everything dialed in but the darn van still had a wobbling feel to it
driving down the road. On a whim I started looking at the surface of all
the tires and sure enough the front one on the drivers side had a slight
bulge at one spot. Swapped it out with the spare and it was driving
nirvana, it went straight down the road and no more wobble.
I hope this helps,
Paul in Tracy
