are your tires evenly worn? My car shakes a little too right now, but that's because I laid down some tread a week ago and I have deep flat spots on my tires.

sounds like you have a bad tire, try swapping the fronts side to side and see if it pulls the other way, if not the toe is off, go real slow in a parking lot and see if one end of your car wabbles

You did not say what kind of vehicle you drive. Toyota has been known to use lug-centric wheels on some trucks. These wheels cannot be balanced correctly using a standard wheel/tire balancing machine unless an adapter is used.
