Default Steering wheel shaking

I just put my summer rims and tires on and once I go past 70 km/h my wheel starts shaking. I assumed they just weren't balanced but I got that done and it still does it, I'm starting to think the rims could be bent? I'm stumped, anyone have any idea what it could be? My stock rims and tires run smooth

Lug nuts torqued properly? What I mean is, were they tightened in the right sequence?

Just had the same problem with mine. Found out my belts where separating in the tires. Put new tires on and good to go.

Take your tires off n roll them on a smooth concrete surface see if they wobble back and forth. Mine looked flat until I took them off the truck and let them sit for a few minutes then they would wobble when rolled.
