steering wheel shaking

My steering wheel has began to shake between 55 & 65mph . Just recently changed brakes and rotors. Any help out there?

sounds like you need a wheel balance.

Sounds like tires needs balancing. If they are worn a lot you may need new ones. THis happened to my 2002 and balancing the tires fixed it but they also found out the front end was out of alignment. Hope its that simple for you.

did you rotate your tires after doing your brakes?

it's not tires.... gosh... it's either bad brake job (not following the factory manual procedure = lopsided caliper/rotor), dirt under brake rotor, OR (most likely) your alloys have larger-than-normal center holes....
