possibly could have bent a rim. May want to get it checked out and rebalanced. Also since you lowered the car you should get an alignment anyway after the springs settle.

My first guess would also be a bent wheel. Also get your alignment checked because it is probably off too.

Sometimes, when a wheel is bent, you won't be able to see it while it's idle. You'll have to put it on a wheel balancer, and you can see it wobble as it spins.

Could be bent on the inside.

Either way, you need to get an alighment after the springs settle, and then you could prob have that one wheel rebalanced. They will tell you if it's bent when they put it on the machine

What size are your rims?

Wheel balance fell off?.. did you check if their on there? If not that then get an alignment done you'll figure it out after that.
