What size alloys are on this? If its the stylance 17's then you need to double check the balancing.

 

The larger the alloy the more critical the balancing becomes, poor practice by a lot of the quicker shops is to shove the balancing weights on just the inner edge - whilst this will technically balance the wheel at the low speeds used on the balancing machine, the forces generated on a larger wheel during acceleration will concentrate more toward the center and will show up this practice as steering wobble.

 

Check where they have positioned the weights, they should be on the inside and outside of the wheel, if stick-on weights are being used then they should be positioned in behind the spokes (as close to the face as posible).
