if you see that its missing just take your car to any tire store and have them balance it. Its a hell of a lot cheaper then buying new rims.
You may have all of them checked for that matter. Unbalanced tires can cause shakiness.

You may also want them to check the alignment, you might have knocked something out of alignment
