need a little help diagnosing cause of steering wheel w

this is on my wife's '99 9-3 SE.
At low speeds (<25mph), the steering wheel vibrates quite a bit. I'd say it oscillates (like a pendulum) about 2 inches or so on its own while the car is in motion. Above 25mph, the wobble smooths out, although i think i can still detect a very slight shimmy in the steering wheel.
The steering wheel wobble is at its worst in the morning when the car is cold. After the suspension & engine warms up, it doesn't seem as bad (ie when crawling through rush-hour traffic) - but it is still present.
I beleive the tire pressures are OK (just checked 'em a few days ago), and I just had the right-front rim replaced last week due to a bent rim (cursed potholes!). I don't suspect faulty balancing of the new rim tho b/c usually balancing probs present themselves at higher speed. I checked the lugbolts when i got to work this morning, they seem tight.
Maybe a torn/damaged bushing?
TIA.
