Default Strange wobble

Car : 2000 Audi S4 (unfortunately its not a stick [:@])

So yeah, it all started after i noticed the front pass-side wheel had gone flat, so i took it off and put the full spare on till my old man got the tire fixed. So he brings the tire back the next day and the tire place said it was fine. B.S, so he put some fix a flat in it and i drove it around, everything was fine but i had noticed a little rattle sound, figured it was the fix a flat in a low profile tire. Anywho, a few weeks goes by and this rubbling never goes away. I had a new tire put on, i fixed a rim that was slightly bent and now when i drive the car shimmy's under load between 20-40 mph and yeah it is irritating and sucks. now im thinking it could be a multitude of things.
A. Control Arm
B. alignment
C. CV

Anyone ever had this problem? and any suggestions on how to fix it. Much appreciated.
p.s - im a n00b in the german car world.

so there is a new rim on it? As in your sure the rims not bent, cause you can't fix our rims cause they are not steel. Put the spare on againand if the wobble goes away then its the rim. If thats not it maybe alignment then.

balance the tire. If they took the tire off the rim and didnt put it on the same way it came off then the runout on the tire is off.

well i am fairly sure that they balanced the tire and what not. and i guess it might be the alignment i am taking it in tomorrow to see what they say, but it is beyond annoying that is for sure. i dont even like taking my girl around in it cause well, its not pleasant.
