thanks for everyone's input. I'll check the rotors when I get the chance. Could wheel bearings also be a possibility? I recently put on 18x9 and 18x10 wheels from stock wheels and the shaking got worse. I now feel the shaking when going on the freeway even when I'm not braking. I did an alignment two weeks back as well

And if it's the wheel bearing, it does not appear that the bearing and spindle are one piece. I would imagine that you can take your spindle off and press out the bearing and press in new ones if that's the problem.
