Whenever I get my car up to speed around 90-100 km/h, I get a really bad vibration back through the steering column and my steering wheel shakes like mad. I only started noticing this after I got my new rims and tires, so I assume it's related. Could I be in need of a wheel alignment? Wheel bearing? MY wheels were bigger than stock, can that have anything to do with it? It's rather annoying I must say. Help!

It could be. Its definately worth a try. I mean, you shouldn't have to pay to have them balanced again, and if that was the problem then you're good.
Is your steering wheel straight when you are traveling straight? find an empty road and try this.. pick up some decent speed, let go of the wheel and slam on the brakes.. Does the steering wheel stay relatively straight, or does it turn to one side or another? -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
