??? What would cause my steering wheel to shake bad???
98 % of shakes are caused by one of 3 things.
1) Low speed shake = bad tires (not likely since they are new)
2) high speed shake = tires out of balance (not likely since tires are new)
3) shakes when braking = warped rotors. This is my guess. You say the brakes are new, but if the rotors were not resurfaced or replaced, you will still feel a shake.
If it's not any of these, then you fall into the other 2% of cases, and it needs to be checked by a professional.

if it depends on the speed which means as you go faster the more it shakes then you need your tires balanced you can't do that your self go to any garage they spin your tire and add Pb loads to balance the tire
don't go near your alignments doesn't cause that problem + once its screwed its gonna kill you to get it back
out of balance tires, bent rim, choppy uneven worn tires, a tire that has a separating steel belt in it. Worst case: Bad tie rod/ball joint. Take it in for a balance check, they will know if it's a bad tire if they cannot balance it no matter what they do. If they balance %26amp; it goes away you have it solved, otherwise they should find your issue...
When does it shake? Driving,braking turning a corner? It could be the suspension worn out. It could be the front rotors are warped. It could be a tire problem. Need to be more specific in order for us to help you.
Tire balance, bent rims are the most likely causes unless you got hold of some bad tires.
your tires could be out of bounce. also check the suspension, you could have a bad tie rod or ball joint.
check your alighment it should be fixed to or your rings are in bad shape change them
Have you had your transmission checked?
