Thanks everyone for their advice. Last night, my friend came over and we unmounted the wheel just to check one more time and FOUND the problem. Now the car is driving OK.
I have a set of Ronal R28 (16") wheel on the car. What I didn't know was they came with some type of spacer, non metal gasket like material. What happened was when the dealer rotated my tires one of the spacer on the left front wheel got stuck to the hub and the turkey didn't notice it and just put the wheel on so I now have two spacer in there. That's what was causing the inital front end shaking problem.
When I went to have the wheel rebalanced, the guy either didn't see (or care) the spacer/gasket and he just put the wheel back on after balancing. Some additional damage must have been done to the spacer that was stuck on the hub (it was ripped up) when the shop took off and put the wheel back on after balancing. Thus more vibration.
So, if you own a Ronal R28 wheel, be warned the tech about the spacer when you have your tire rotated !!
