So I just drove from LA to Seattle a few days ago and I'm getting vibrations in the car when it gets to 80mph and above. Any ideas on what could be the problem? Alignment? Bent wheel/s? Need wheel balancing done? Any help would be appreciated.

Are they stock or aftermarket wheels?
If they're aftermarket, did you use hub rings?
If you did, check the balance on a road force balancer such as the hunter unit. That will tell you if its off balance, out of round, bent, etc.
If that doesn't do it, get an alignment (highly unlikely it will fix the vibration but its the next cheapest option)
If that doesn't work, it might be something suspension or mechanical.

Sorry if I didn't mention they are aftermarket rims. And I didn't use hub rings. How do they help the car with aftermarket rims? I've had my Volks for some time now and this is the first time I've had this. I'm getting my alignment and the road force balancing done right now. Hopefully those fix the problem. Thanks for the help!
