i dont remember where i got them , from some website. sorry.
but anyway, i know the tires are balanced because they are different rims actually but i said new tires because they were different, either way it didnt change a thing when i switched them.
also, what do you mean by break them in right?

no i have never hit a curb since ive owned it, i bought it about a year ago, and it had a slight wobble when i braked. it has just progressively worsened. it does it with two different sets of rims, and it has new rotors and pads, i cant seem to figure it out. i was told it could be the back drum brakes but i was also told if it were those, it would shake underneath me instead of in the streering wheel. so i am out of ideas.
do you think it could have anything to do with the calipers. they are still the factory ones and as far as i know, they both work fine, i may be wrogn though.

Go and check your front suspension, a busted ball joint will make the car shake sometimes. If you jack it up and the wheels shake or sag you may have found your problem.
