many possibility can cause that~
1. over torque the wheels
2. wheels deflected
3. wheels not balanced correctly
4. hub centric rings
it s more likely the wheels not balanced correctly because the vibration only appears at high speed

I had the same thing happen after getting new tires, at around 70 mph steering wheel would vibrate, after rotating tires front to back, it was smooth as butter, so I had the wheels rebalanced and vibration went away.

Make sure that your tire pressure is even all around, too.
When I got my new tires, I noticed a minor vibration in the steering wheel at speeds around 60+ MPH. After having the dealer check the balancing a couple of times, I was able to decrease the vibration by simply making sure that the tire pressure was where it needed to be.

This is a good thread to bring attention to getting aftermarket rims w. tires installed in the mail, assuming that's what you did. I've purchased 4 sets of the rims over the years that way, and three of times, the wheels were out of balance. I've never had a hub size issue, but that should be easy enough to check online, or by simply calling the supplier to make sure your hub size matches up with the car. If it does, just get the rims/tires (re)balanced and you'll be good to go.

Same thing happened to me. I retoqued the wheels, still did it, took it in they aligned it still did it, rebalanced the wheels, still did it, took it back they rebalanced teh wheels again and now it's butter smooth.
