Could be a buckled alloy. Its easy enough to spot on a balancing machine that a tyre shop has. They run the wheels at speed for the machine to get its calculations as to where the weights need to go and type of weight to use. If an alloy is buckled, the tyre won't run "true" on the machine. It will wobble.

A buckled alloy can lead to vibration, which can be felt through the steering if its bad enough.
