steering wheel shimmy?

So I got my stock 207 wheels powdercoated and calipers painted. Looks great, but I have noticed that the steering wheel shimmies back and forth very slightly when I take my hands off. I didn't immediately notice anything and even took the car on the freeway for 10+ mi on the way home, nothing. It was later on when I took the car out and took my hand off the wheel, it shimmies. Maybe it was there before and I didn't notice? I have dealt with this guy before and he has been pretty honest and fair with me, so I think he would tell me if he screwed something up. Should I get an alignment? Haven't had one since I bought the car in January. Any advice appreciated. (BTW Should I go on a private track to see if it does it at high speed?)
