If those wheels, tires, and adapters worked for a little while then the adapters are not the problem. They won't just all of a sudden go out of balance. You may have lost a weight off of one of the wheels to throw it out or it could be a broken belt in a tire. I would take them to a tire shop and have them rebalanced and checked out. Also bad struts or bearings will cause a shake.
