Is your wheel shaking or your seat?
Common problem would be rotors
If its in your seat, I'd say out of balanced tires.

I had a shake at 60 . The tire shop rebalanced my tires for free. Took care of the problem. Spin balance.

Rebalance the tires and the problem should be fixed. Just take it back to wherever you got the tires from in the first place and they should do it for free.

I had the same problem out of my Celica after it was wrecked, everything was fine til about 60mph & then it was just fucked (shaking, hard to steer, etc). I got 2 front end alignments, new tires, still didn't fix it. End up selling the car last week.

Could be wheel bearing, ball joints, or inner tie rods.

It's just the big amount of torque these cars make

could be a number of things, i'd start with tires, rims and rotors.
My 'balt got wrecked 2 weeks after i got it, thought it was only cosmetic damage because it drove fine after (only a slight pull to one side) then about 5k miles later i started getting a shake around 65 ended up being 2 bent rims, toed out alignment that chewed my front tires to ****. Got new tires and rims and the shake went away.

i only crashed the right side of my car. they replaced the control arm and a lot of things from the front right wheel. this shaking only recently started. it shakes when i go 75+ and when i break. i think its the breaks because they squeal real bad. my back tires are a little low but im not sure they are the culprit
