Default Drivetrain experts help. Vibration question

Last year set of wheels were put on incorrectly by shop. Rotation arrows facing wrong way, and wheels not properly torqued. Consequently, while doing 70mph on the interstate the wheels lugs came loose and the rim slammed down on the rotor, but did not come off the car. I currently have the factory rims and tires on, and I feel an ever so slight vibration at speeds of 70mph+. Also, the steering wheel has a slight vibration also at these speeds. Possibility of damaging axle? I noticed that for a while the original wheels involved were re-balanced but had a little vibration at somewhat slower speeds, now that oem wheels are on, vibration is at 70+. Any thoughts, or ideas? Thanks.
