Are the new wheels seated properly on the hubs? Did you give the hubs a clean up before puttin new wheels on? is the shake definatley from the front wheels and not through the seat as this would suggest rear wheel balance

I once bought four new tyres, fitted and balanced. Awful wobbles. Two tyres were not actually round. The other slight possibility is that they are not seated correctly. You should be able to spot this by comparing the distance from the rim to any moulded line around the tyre near the rim.

And yes, KwikFit should have done them all.
