Had the same problem when buying a 997.1 S 2 years ago. Believe it or not, in my case, I had quite a large amount of water in one rear tire! Would think, this can only happen in China ... Got the water removed, clean the tire and get the wheel balanced again -> problemo solved

So based on some of the comments, it seems that a rear bad tire or bent rim can cause steering wheel shake. My rims are fine and I had no such issue before the tire change.
I am suspecting the 911 is a lot more sensitive so I am taking the car to my Indy tomorrow and have them balance all four wheels.
I will post the results tomorrow. Thanks again for all your valuable feedback.

I took the car to my Indy this morning who does a lot race prep work as well and has the best equipment. They balanced the front wheels again (were off slightly) and the car rides fine now.
