Steering wheel shimmies just a bit

Lately I have been noticing that my steering wheel vibrates a little right around 65mph. I figured it was an unbalanced wheel. I checked my front wheels and sure enough, one of them was missing a weight. So I took it in and had both fronts rebalanced. However, the vibrating continues... Could it be warped rotors, even if braking does not seem to increase (or decrease) the vibration?

Any other ideas?

Thanks guys!

Same thing happened to me. Turned out that the front tires were cupped. A result of my 128K mile old suspension. I had the brand new rear tires put on the front and problem fixed. Then of course I had to replace the worn out suspension.... another story in another thread.

i doubt that's what mine is.... these tires were only put on in december (maybe 7K miles on them, if i had to guess) and my car only has 37k on it
