rotor issue?
 
i got new pads and had the oem rotors resurfaced and bedded them correctly about 5-6000 miles ago and everything was great now all of a sudden im getting really bad steering wheel shake when braking above 40 mph, does it sound like a rotor issue to everyone. i've cleaned the wheels and got touge factory centric rings and re-tightened the calipers and checked for a bad wheel bearing and still no luck.

FYI my tries are currently really worn down and im in the process of looking for new ones

May have a build up of pad material on the rotors. Can cause a vibration feeling when applying the brakes as the pad skips over the built up material. You can lightly hand sand the rotor surface and re-bed them in.

Have you hit anything also cause you could have thrown your allignment off. And does it just shake when you brake at those speeds

Damm that's weird maybe bad calipers? That's what I would think of next.
