I can't find any threads that specify what the issue is. It drives nice and smooth until 65mph+. The steering wheel shakes quite a bit after 65mph and it's starting to annoy me a little. I only drive 6 miles to work so it doesn't bother me as much but when summer comes around and I get to do my 140 mile trips to wisconsin, it'll be an issue. Anyone have any idea of what it might be? Steering rack? Motor mounts? My struts/springs are pretty new all around. Wheels were mounted/balanced and have less than 500 miles. I'm not particularly familiar with this area of expertise so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I will check the tires first to make sure they are bolted on right in star pattern to the recommended torque. If that checks out ok then take car in for tires to be balanced and tell them what speed you have the shaking. That should solve the problem, if not then I will check the other stuffs as mentioned above.
Hopes that helps
