Everything seems fine.

I did notice the inside of the tires were wearing and they still have around 70% tread life.
I thought Nissan aligned the car for me when I did the 60k service? Guess not.

A mechanic friend of mine got in and drove it around. He thinks its either the tires causing the shaking of the wheel or something regarding the tires.

Its not really that big of a deal, but it shouldn't be vibrating.

Other things to consider/Check

1. Check all your wheels are torqued to spec (85 ft lbs or so)
2. Did any of the weights from your wheels fall off you may see a spot where there is the leftover goo stuff.

Tires wearing on the inside would just be negative camber showing and would not cause shaking.

How about did you lower your car? If your struts are going you could get some shaking.

Are you running aftermarket wheels? Or aftermarket lug nuts on stock wheels?

If your car was stock it would be easier to rule out random variables that are definitely the cause of this issue.
