Wheel Shaking while on 5th gear

Hello all,

recently i had the tranny rebuilt because of 3rd gear synchro..
while they rebuilt i also told them to replace the clutch and everything so far is good.

when i purchased the car ( 2 months ago) i had rotors and breaks changed <- i had bad shaking on the wheel while breaking. so that was fixed too.

Now when on the highway as soon as i pop to 5th gear i have a little shake on the wheel..( its not huge but its definitely noticeable)
i know its not rotors or breaks because when i break it settles down.. AND rotors and breaks have less then 500km on them.

any ideas what this could be??

Wheel weights could have fell off when changing the rotors and brakes. Try and get your wheels balanced
