have you done all the basic checks ?
tyre presures
standard wheel balence
look for damage to tyres
look for deabre or excessive dirt near or on wheels
check steering rach for play.
checked condition of bushes
wheel nuts correctly tightend Ie loosen and do up correctly
If you have none standard rims check the centre hubs fit tight if not you may need a part I cant rememeber the name of now
if it has wheel trims remove and try without
check the conditions of all bushes
check all the nuts and bolts are tight on suspession rack and roll bars ect
check bull joints
check track rod ends
check breaks are not binding at all.

If the above shows up nothing. google on car wheel balenceing.

I've had this with driveshafts being worn on the inner c.v.'s however a very good point Bas brings up is non standard wheels that dont sit on th e spigot can be a big problem I've had this as well and it can be really bad.
