Steering wheel shaking!!!

Hey guys I been having issues with vibration problems and I took it in to get the wheels balanced and the car aligned. Changed the oil, spark plugs, and transmission oil. Brake pads and disc are good. I have American Racing Torque Thrust II wheels. Why is my car still shaking at the wheel?

Bent rim(s)? Bad tire(s)? Loose/worn suspension component(s)?

might be the rims hit the curb before lol. Tires are still okay and the suspension is original and the car has 117k miles

Bump for more info, having the same problem and I have even replaced my outer tie rods, got better but not perfect, any specific front end parts that also have an effect on steering wheel shake or any places to look for something that may be loose?

How does the shake come on slow speeds, fast speeds, when is it better or worse?

I know the shake im getting in the wheel is from the motor mounts being shot, something you might want to check since its easy and quick to check.

My car does the very same thing and annoys the hell out of me. I have decided to blame it on **** tires (everything else appears to be in decent shape) and hope that whenever they get changed, it goes away. Mine only does it at freeway speeds.
