Default Steering wheel shake

I just put on 500 miles on Z51 pkg C6. I have after market rims and I have have alittle steering wheel shake at 60 -70 mph. Is this normal or do you thing my wheels aren't balanced properly?
Any thoughts?

They are not balanced correctly. Shouldn't get any shake!

I've posted this before, but if you have jackasses putting your wheels on, then check to make sure they cut off the retaining clips you will find on the studs...couple of alum clips at the hub...this will produce shimmy in the steering wheel even if balanced properly. The stock wheels have an inset to compensate for the clips. If they are gone, then balancing it is...check the cheap/easy one first.
