I would first verify that the wheel was torqued down properly. (as in sequence) If you don't torque you wheel down in a criss cross pattern (like shown below) it might not seat correctly, thus giving you wheel wobble. The torque for the lugs is 79.6 ft/lbs. Gotta start with the simple things. You can also do a wheel runout inspection, and wheel bearing inspection, all you need is a dial indicator, I am sure one of the hobbie shops could let you borrow one, it's real easy to do and would not take vary long.

Here is the proper torque sequence.

no it just wobbles while driving and stuff like that...my steering doesnt change such as turning left and right or braking...i have a funny sound that comes from when i slow down from high speed but that sound is the junky body kit that i have...my lugs are tight i just had them tightened and the same with the air pressure...its not hopping at all...you guys will see tomorrow night

stock wheels or aftermarket?
if they are stock do you have aftermarket lug nuts?
it can also be a bad wheel bearing.
