You need to balance your wheels. Take it into a mechanics it should be cheap. They just put small weights on the wheels to even it out.

Get all your tires balanced. Unbalanced tires loose their roundness when a section of the tire is slightly heavier than another section. Your car begins to shake after reaching high speeds if the weight clips along the edge of your rim have shifted or were not properly balanced at your local tire/auto shop. Have it done/redone where the balancing equipment used are digital and not done manually.Good luck!

You definitley do not need an alignment to fix this problem, although it might not hurt...The fact that its happening at speed tells me that your front tires need to be balanced on the rim. You woulnt notice the problem at low speed because when a tire is out of balance, it is generally such a small amount out af wack that only at high speeds does the problem amplify and make itself known. It shouldnt cost more than $20 at your local tire shop to fix em...

Default Off Topic: Help on Rim Info

Hi, quick question to all, would anybody know if this rim is from a late 80's model prelude or civic? What year is this rim from? I currently have three and i need one more to complete the set, would anybody know where i can find this rim?
Or the minimum, from which car is this stock rim from. The rim i am talking about is my profile picture.

You can also see it here: http://i37.tinypic.com/8yt9qd.jpg

Any help would greatly be appreciated, thanks.
