It could be the same thing that happened to me today as well. Im in NJ and have a lowered 99 max with 18's. What i noticed was that the snow got stuck between the wheel and the wheel well and im guessing at speeds above 50 or 60, it starts to touch the wheel or affect the wheel somehow and causes it to shake and shimmy. After i cleaned my wheel well, the shaking went away. To keep this from happenining, just keep the wheel well from collecting snow. I hope this helps you out.....

This is extremely doubtful, but, why not: Your lug nuts for your tires are tight right? I mean real tight! My buddy had this and so his wheel fell off, lol, lucky nobody was hurt. I'll bet its the snow in your wheel well though

I've had the same thing
I grew up in Michigan and we get *** piles of snow.
When you drive in deep snow it gets lodged inside the rim and unbalances the weight. But you don't notice it at slow speeds. So just hose it out or just driving on it for a while will get the wheels hot enough to melt it out of there.
