It could just be the tire too, go get the tire changed and if it doesn't clear up its prolly the rim.
My back tire and front drivers side tires wre doing that, turns out the tires were just bad. Didn't realize that until the tire blew up and whacked away at my fenders, and jacked it all up...friggin sheet metal

everyone seems to have missed the obvious here, i bet your wheel weight just fell off. that will definately make it wobble. you can get it fixed for about $1.

I worked in a tire shop for a year and a half and the most common ailment was wobbling tires. Solution? Get your wheels and tires balanced. I doubt it's a bent rim because that usually makes your car pull to one side...if it's not pulling you probably just shed a weight. Then again, you could have bent a strut, bent a lug stud, badly warped a rotor (you would have many other problems if it were that), etc. Get it balanced at SAM's for like 8 bucks and if the problem persists, get back to us.

Wheel bearing is another option not to rule out...
