Is this wheel not true? Newly installed tires and TPU tubes at 60~psi. Noticed the wobble today and I'm not sure what's causing it, did I install the tire wrong? Help your local idiot☺️

Bent your rim or the tire isn’t set correctly is my guess.
Check your spokes for any loose ones, if there are, your rims probably fucked. As for setting the tire, watch one of the “lines” on the tire as you spin in, if it “dips” up or down while it spins, it’s not set in that location.
Maybe spin the wheel without a tire fitted and check to see if it’s true.
You can fit a zip tie to the frame and point the loose end of it toward the wheel to see if it is out of true, or if the radius of the wheel has some high or low spots (out of round).
If it wasn’t doing this before you put new tires on it could be that the tire isn’t seated correctly.
Completely deflate the tube, put a lil dish soap and water together in a spray bottle or whatever, coat the rubber where it will contact the rim, all around, both sides, and then fully inflate👍
