Could be camber and tracking.

more than likely to be tracking

tracking doesnt usually cause wobbling that much, causes it to pull a lot though!  I would say you need your wheel balence checked!  might have a buckled alloy?  I had a bad buckle but with loads of weights it got better.

I have this on my polo, going to get my wheels balenced i think!

If you car is pulling to one side when the steering wheel is straight then that would mostly be the tracking.

Check your track rod ends and steering arms are ok

+1, mine did this, got 4 new tyres and all the balancing done and it was perfect. Any speed and no wobble now.
