Steering wheel shaking and gas pedal vibration at 60mph
So recently my steering wheel starts to shake and I feel my gas pedal vibrate when driving approx. 60mph and up. The faster after 60 I go the more pronounced it is. I checked the Tire pressures and outer sidewalls...there were no bubbles, and pressure was 30PSI, I increased it to 32 and there's no change. Also the TPMS light turned on for a day and now it shut off...but the problem is still there. Any ideas?
My car is not lowered
08 coupe 6mt
It's sitting on 20" Vertini magic blacks with Hankook Ventus v12 evo K110 with less than 2000 miles on them.
Someone please gimme some help

Get your wheels balanced at a shop that knows what they're doing

You could also try just removing your wheels and reinstalling them. You could have some trash stuck in there. Guys working at tire shops aren't known for being detail oriented. Also, if they used an impact wrench to run up the nuts, they're very likely not on flush, and overtorqued. All of that can cause you problems, especially if you heat them up (alot of braking) because you can deform the rotors and wheels. You'd basically be stressing them, then heat treating them.

Thanks for all the replies guys. The shop I went to was pretty reputable, they mounted and balanced the wheels in front of my eyes and mounted em and the car drove beautifully when I first rode it around; better than my oem rims and tires so I was really pleased. I'm going to try to take them off and remount them and see if that does anything, if not it's back to a shop to balance em.

Doggy - haven't hit anything too hard. I know about a month ago I might have hit a pot-hole and felt it thinking it might have caused a bubble, but there was nothing significant afterwards..meaning for the next month until this issue popped up a few days ago
cereal - nah they don't require hubcentric rings, the wheels were on for about 2000 miles running smoothly before they started to become shaky just recently

Finally got around to getting em balanced...took it to the place that put the wheels on and to my surprise, there's actually a small BEND in the driver's side front wheel that's been causing this vibration. I cant believe that small pot-hole I hit a month ago caused this ****. Now I've got to find a place to fix the bend!

Go to Americas tires and get them balanced there.. i had the same problem when i put my 20's on i got them balanced at a tire shop that charges a bit cheaper but something new i learned were that in some wheels they require weights in both sides of the inside of the wheel. i dont know if you understand but sometimes they just put a strip of weights where the balancer tell them to. but they dont check again to see if they need some in other areas of the wheel. Oh and check to see if you need hubcentric rings!
