Sounds like you have a tire or two out of balance.

No, this is something that you can take your car to any tire shop and have them check your tires to make sure that they are balanced properly and are in good condition.

Before you even go balance them, you said your tires were flat, I would suggest checking pressure all around to make sure its consistent and that one wheel isn't signifigantly lower than another.

could also be warped rotors.
go get your wheels balanced first. if that doesnt help then you might need to turn your rotors. any garage will be able to do both

didnt realize you had aftermarket rotors.
mine were warped and it vibrated at high speeds (60) like you were saying. nothing when i pressed the brake. thats why i thought it might be that.
