Well, if the steering wheel only vibrates when you apply the brakes, could be that the rotors are warpe. If it does it when you don't apply the brakes @ those speeds, could be that your wheels are out of balance, your lugs are loose or your tire pressures are uneven....how many miles are on the car and what kind of rims ya runnin??

most likely the rotor(s) is warped.a wheel out of balance will do it at all speed but u can only feel it at higher speed,dont waste the money on pads and have the rotor perform a run out test(checkin the thickness/surface).
