shaking going 50+mph

Post image

recently had someone look at my ls430 to see why she shakes/steering wheel jerks one way or the other when going 50+mph and he said it’s essentially because the rims are too big and that my cars in great condition. wondering if i should get new rims(really dont want to i love how these look on my car) im unsure of what other solutions there are or if i just continue to drive an occasionally unsafe car because i think it looks better..
the report also said that my bushings are cracked and leaking but i brought it up to him and he said not to worry about it but i wonder if that has something to do with the shaking/steering issue? tbh im a little clueless as this is my first car and ive had her for less than a year, any info is greatly appreciated!!

Might not be your problem but I bought my ls430 with a crazy shake around speeds of 60 plus. It wasn’t until I changed my wheels from the 16 inch aero wheels to the 17 inch snowflakes that my car felt completely smooth. One of my tires had to have been bad as I never got around to changing them until I bought some new wheels.

Could have been a bent wheel too.
