Default 2010 Steering Wheel Shake

I test drove two 2010 GT's today, one auto, one 6 speed. Both had the optional 19" wheels and both had a very noticeable steering wheel shake at 60-65MPH and above. The wheel would dance about 3 degrees right to left, etc. Drove straight but shook like they were out of balance.

Anyone else notice this and what has been done, if anything to resolve it.

Thanks in advance.

There's no 6 speed GT - just a 6 speed GT500 / Shelby.

Anyway, my 5 speed with 19's doesn't shake the least bit.

Duh, I guess I was hoping it was a 6 speed. I'll drive another and see what happens.

No but you would have cracks in the plastic and tranny issues, oh and probably the ugliest interior in history.

I had a shake. They road force balanced the tires and didnt solve the issue. They replace all 4 tires and all 4 wheels. Didnt solve the issue. They asked that I drive 500 miles on new tires and wheels, problem got worse. Ford Field Engineer stated that will be a little "nibble" in the steering wheel with this tire, wheel and suspension combination (BS if you ask me!) Rebalanced tires today, just got car back from being in shop since Wednesday...havent gone on highway yet...will let you know outcome.
