    After market wheels?
    I remember having steering wheel shake from 30 to 60 only with incorrect hub sizes back then.

      I am having this same problem. And yes, aftermarket wheels.

        Shaking at a specific speed range is usually out of balance wheels. Worn out shocks or worn parts in the suspension will aggravate the problem with the wheels.

        Note that the wheels used must be hubcentric and a close fit to the centering ring. If not hubcentric or if the fit is poor the wheels probably can't be balanced off the car.
        The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

          I thought 002's were hubcentric?

            Thought the same thing!
            They might be out of balance. Not too sure. It hasn't bothered me enough yet.

              also check your control arm bushings and tie rods, my iX was susceptible to this and those items fixed it

                i had the same symptoms and it was control arm bushings. They looked fine(and held up fine to a crowbar), but after replacing them and control arms, the issue went away.

                Best of luck.

                edit; also out of balance wheels or non hub centric wheels would not usually go away as you move faster.
                editedit: does your wheel shake when going over bumps (usually feltduring turns)? mine did that as well.

                    I have shaking when going over 55 but goes away when I turn. I have new wheel bearings and balanced wheels. With the shaking stopping only in turns do you think this is control arm bushings and tie rods?

                      I had shaking when I was going around 80-100kph, which was fixed by replacing both front control arms & bushings
