if only the rear are wobbling is beacuse of a litte screw that is located in the rear drums, its not doing anygood but just wobbling tires...

Yeah, remount the wheels, maybe they didn't seat all the way on the lugs. Also make sure the lugs are long enough. If for some reason the new rims are thin enough to give the lug nuts more thread to bite, there is a SLIGHT possibility that they bottom out before holding the rim on tight.
