I can see how the rubberized wheel could become misshapen but not the harder white wheel. Are you sure you don't have either a bent shaft or are the washers not flat? The pressed steel washers on an inexpensive grinder often cause the wobbling you describe. It may help to replace them with machined ones. The Oneway Balancing System does help to hold the grinding wheels in the plane of rotation in addition to taking out the vibration.
