have you hit anything? if you haven't...then the wobble's from your coilovers. odd though, since you're rwd. could be a bad hub or axle too though. too much strain on the arms maybe? sorry...not much help!

Mine used to wobble at low speeds,jiggling to and fro. And the culprit for this was my tires. Have you checked yours? I was able to determine it by researching on car repair manuals and there I found out "to move the tires to the rear(one at a time)" so you could find out if the tires are causing the steering wheel to wobble. try to search for "Road force balancing".

It could be drive-train vibrations transmitting to your steering wheel.
