ha this may sound stupid but does he have the lug nuts tightened to the torque specs? i learned this the hard way as my new rims nearly flew off my car the same day i put them on... i felt alot of weird vibration and the steering wheel was shakin like crazy even at low speeds... just a thought :dunno:

Could also be the clutch and flywheel chatter. I know I get it and I have polyurethane motor mount bushings. My clutch has 85,000 miles on it with about 240 autocrosses too.
