Ok, tried other side.. no wobble.

I looked at the wheel and cleaned the hub a good bit, scraped off a lot of crap. It's still wobbling.. but not half as bad.

Still though, there must still be something lingering..

Thanks for your response. I ended up getting 15mm spacers from TPI. I have fitted them and one side of the car is fine, but there is a very dangerous wobble off of the driver's side of the car on the rear!

I removed the spacer, and no more wobble... manufacturing defect?

They mostly seem to have the single fixing at the bottom, whereas mine requires the 2 fixings on either side.
