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?

I took the wheels off and found out its the centre part of the wheel, its like 5mm away from the bore..

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