Wobbly rear wheel!

So I finally got my Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres delivered, and fitted them myself today. Not too bad a job, certainly not as bad as I'd anticipated!
Front wheel rolls fine when I've put it back on, but the rear wobbles when you turn the wheel and it's got me puzzled. I've taken it back off, checked I've fitted it on correctly and securely, but still the wobble remains!

I feel it's a trip to the local bike shop tomorrow morning... just wondered if there was anything obvious I should be trying before I do that?

Again thanks in advance!

Stupid question I know but i've seen it done, have you checked the bead has popped out all the way round the rim on both sides? You can often pump tyres up very hard and it still won't pop out. If that's the case, washing up liquid on the offending part and tyre pressure bordering on the ridiculous will help.

Well, I've taken the tyre/tube off and just put the bare rim on - it's definitely not turning properly so I don't think the tyre is the problem. Pretty sure I've not made any basic cock up with re-attaching the chain etc as that seems to functioning fine.

Frustration!!!

Does my wheel maybe need to be "trued"?? Have seen this mentioned in some other google searches I've made. Would this have happened anyway or have I somehow brought it on by changing my tyres?

Wobbly as in the rims gets closer/further to the brake blocks as it rotates? - needs trued

Or, with the wheel tight into the frame can you rattle the wheel about? - slack cones

The first - trueing on the card I guess!
