Ha!
Nearly every car I have owned has had wheel vibration at some speed but
unless the "band" (range of speeds) was wide or the vibration was a real
shudder, or if the vibration speed was at a usual cruising speed so it
was difficult to escape... I rarely ever did anything about it.
Usually it is simply a case of balancing the wheels but mis-alignment
could cause this.
Amazingly enough when I took the 'B out for a test drive with the
(boring) Rostyles on after removing the wires the other day... woohoo, I
couldn't find a vibration point/speed. It felt super 'solid' right up
to 80mph (the wires 'vibrated' at between 55 and almost 60mph - but only
enough to notice it, not enough to really annoy me).
