Default Front wheel wobble

When I'm in the passenger seat, can feel a wobble coming front wheel area. Just had new alloy as old one had a crack in it, so has been balanced 4 months ago. But this wobble has started. Anyone have any ideas? First thing I will check is wheel and tyre, but feels like something else.

Lost a weight? hit a pothole? Tyre gone oval?

I've not hit a pot hole, but guessing owner before may have, due to crack in wheel. Will check weights and budges in tyre. It doesn't seem to handle amazingly, but not sure if thats because its a newage compared to my classic.

take it to a decent tyre place, get them to check all wheels are balanced and to check your alignment.

Only other thing is jack it up and tug the wheel side to side and top to bottom to see if there is any play, could be wheel bearings

swap wheels front to back the side you think is vibrating, to see if the fault moves, rules the wheel/balancing out.
