Look for a bent rim first.Put your spare on that wheel and see if it stops shaking, if not look for suspension damage.

First, I would have the wheel balanced. If it has a bent rim, they will find it. Then I would look at the alignment and for damaged suspension components.

You could have damaged the tire internally also.
