Default front wheel wobbling

so after changing my brakes a week ago i started feeling a vibration in the steering wheel
then one day one of my friends driving next to me noticed my front right wheel is wobbling slightly
i thought maybe the wheel wasnt tight or the rotor but both of them are tight.
could it possibly be my bearing because i hear a clicking sound also
any advice info would be cool!

Do you have hub centric rings?

I would say maybe a bent wheel? Tighten everything down, jack up the car and spin the wheel. You should be able to tell very easily if its bent or not.

are the aftermarket wheels from your sig the ones on your car? reason i ask is because if you put a stock rear wheel on the front it wont tighten over the hub and will loosen eventually...otherwise check your rotors (you said you just did brakes) and if ok, check the hub for play (grab the wheel and pull from the top and bottom when racked) and check your tie rods (pull the wheel back and forth from the sides to check for play) if both are tight and all else is well, could be as simple as a wheel balance...let us know how it goes.
