Could it be this simple?

I've always had a slight shimmy in the steering wheel at speeds from the high 70 to mid 80 mph range. I've got both 17 inch and 18 inch sets of wheels, both with stock sized Michelin N3 tires. Two weekends ago I put my 18 inch wheels on for upcoming HPDEs. Now the shimmy is gone, but I didn't have the wheels rebalanced. The only thing I did different when putting on the 18 inch wheels was to take off the wheel lock lug bolts and put on regular lug bolts. I'm going to have to weigh a lug bolt and a lug lock to see how far apart they are in weight. Could the wheel locks been a source of shimmy all these years?
