I have an 87 that used to have a set of (cheaper) aftermarket 15 inch wheels with some 3 yr old Nitto "performance" tires. It developed the front end shimmy that many AW11 owners have experienced. It was not noticible up to about 45 mph then became pronounced between 45 and 60 mph then went away again at higher speeds. Got an alignment with wheels rebalanced -- no change. Finally decided that at least one of the wheels was not true and got a new set of tires and Rota wheels (not hub-centric) with balancing -- problem solved. This with original worn out ball joints and tie rods.
