wheel wobble!

hey peeps,
i had my alloys fitted a few weeks ago and i was there when he did it.
however my car still feels like the wheels are really unbalenced and the streering wheel wobbles and the car often jerks about specially under braking. should i get them rebalanced or could this be a different problem?

spigot-rings may be needed

the centre hole of the wheel may be a little too big for the hub -- i hope tht makes sense

a plastic ring is needed to reduce the size of the hole

i hope that helps

p.s correct me if i am wrong

yea i got these plastic spacers with the wheels when i brought them, they clip inside the alloy right?
so i doubt thats the problem
