The wheels need balancing mate, go to a tyre grage and they'll sort it in no time. Usually costs around £5-£10 a wheel.

Unbalanced wheels make the shaking. In my opinion go back and have them checked again. How were the old wheels? Did the car shake with them fitted?

Ahh their called spigot rings. I bought a set of 72-60.1mm ones off eBay last week for £12.
