Inspect your suspension and make sure everything is tight.

Do a search and you will find the info you need. This is a common problem and has been discussed a 1000 times. Could be alignment, balancing, worn bushings, steering rack, caliper sticking, etc. The list goes on. Good luck.

iam with sakataj - balljoints/tierods/alignment/rotors/pads/tires and when it was all done i actually had a lot of wheel shake at 60, otherwise it felt razor sharp. for an unknown reason, it has since disappeared.

I just finally ordered Lexus oem 18" rims because they are hub-centric to hopefully solve this problem as all of the above stuff didn't.

you can buy hub centric rings for any rims you buy you know. when i bougth my Work Varianzas i also ordered from Work metal hub rings to suit my car and they just slip onto the hub and take up teh gap between the hub ring and the wheel itself.
