I would say get your wheels balanced first and then see what it is like. Normally if it happens at around 50/60 mph and you are able to drive through it then it is wheel balancing.

I concur, it's usually wheel / tyre balance at 50 - 60 mph.

Hi Doug
I agree it will be wheel balance but before you take it to be check jack it up and check for play in the wheel bearings

Top tip: Wobble through the steering wheel - front wheel(s) need balancing. Wobble feeling through the seat - rear wheel(s) need balancing.
Red alert though -If you have a very strong rhythmic wobble through the steering wheel at very low speed then STOP and get out to check the front tyres.
I wrote a front tyre off by running it while totally flat. Oops.Comment

Another top tip - a little bit of wheel imbalance not normally felt will be amplified many times by any play in the lower balljoint to a real "wheel shaker" - judging by the quality of many of the "new" parts being supplied nowadays, the lower balljoints don't have a very long life.....
