My guess is that the left wheel has developed a bit of looseness. When you are on the gas, the driving force takes up whatever slack is there and holds the alignment straight.
As soon as you let off the gas, the wheel has enough slop in it to shimmy, hence the vibration. The braking force allows the wheel to toe-out, so it pulls to one side.
If nothing is obvious, try swapping the front and rear wheels
Also, did you hit anything which makes you think you have damaged a rim or tire?

No this is on the riced out rolla that a few saw in a previous video of the sentra and laughed at but i could care less. lol. Sorry I should have mentioned what kind of car it was. I never hit anything. It was just sudden. I know the cv joint has been clicking letting me know its time to replace the axles (i still can't ever get the ones for the sentra in let alone change these but with snow in indiana its been delayed hit and miss opprounities with no garage) but I always thought if the cv joint went out, or lost a bearing it would either not have drive at all to that wheel(or possibly both) or it would roll rougher. Kind of like a caster wheel on your office chair when it looses a bearing or two. I should probably check the boot on that side but even still I hear the clicking so I'm assuming the joint is in one piece.
