Warped rotors possibly, that's what I would check first...

I got those cheapo kumho's on on centerline DAGGERS, but they only about 4 months old. Although, I let my wife use my Z and she climbed a curb and put a nice sized dent in my rim. But the dents on the back and the front is shaking.......

maybe she hit the front too but not hard enought to make a dent, could be a loose steering thing or possibly an alimnet issues (how is it when driving?)

If the shake is only when braking, then it's 99% of the time going to be warped rotors. These things are notorious for it.

Yes, but if it also shakes while driving, have the place that you bought your tires check to see if you through a wieght on the tires. The should check/re-balance them for free.

Edit: My money is on the rotor too, but it wouldn't hurt to check out the free solution first.

if she hit a curb, could be alignment, but if it only does it when you brake i would put my money on a rotor
