Basically what Matthew_Armeni is saying, is to balance your tires/wheels. This is a common thing for racers to do, as it decreases unpredictability in the truck's handling, and will allow the power to be put down smoother.

Guys I work with buy airplane prop balancers and mod them to use them as car/truck tire balancers. I'm pretty sure they use this one:

but I'm not sure what they do to make car/truck wheels fit on there.

The tire that was on that 23mm adapter wobbled considerably more than the others. Also, I seems like when I first put the tire on say tire 'X', then held that one so it wouldn't spin (to check another tire for balance), then went back to tire 'X', it would start wobbling, which leads me to believe that I 'distrurbed' the foam insert in the tire, that's the only thing I can think of.

Anyways, I checked out each 23mm hex adapter one by one (pro-line brand, btw) on the same tire, and to my discovery, most of the wobbling was because of the adapters, each one had varying degrees of wobble. One of them, has perfect alignment. I think I should go pick me up some Dace adapter then.
