With the new wheels/tires, I do the same thing, and the steering wheel rotates back and forth about 3-5mm of rotation (circumference?). OEM, nothing, aftermarket visible vibration.
Mine does the same, but barely at this point since I went back and had them rebalance them. They told me it was because the tires are wider and will be a little more rough on the road compared to stock. After I got them rebalanced though, it definately did not vibrate as much as it did at first.
