Default steering wheel shaking at 70mph and up

i searched
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1456020
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1065843
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=398227

However, this just started recently. I swapped rims the other day but then however i changed my mind, so i swaped back to my original rims. At speeds of 75mph and up, it justs starts to vibrate. The faster i go, the more vibration. its been pulling to the right before this. This is definately not my rotors.

Can we narrow it down more
-alignment
-unbalanced tires
-maybe broken lsd?
-shocks are messed up?
-axles ( i know my cv boots are ripped) but i dont know why this will cause shaking?

unbalanced tires or your alignment might be off my old car used to do the same **** untill i got it re-aligned. Lots of off-roading in a little car will do that.

check out your tire pressure, i think the pressure drops like 1psi for ery 10 degree drop...and since its getting colder it might be a factor

Balance your tires and get a wheel alignment, this has been covered a million times

before you do this, if you live where there is snow and ice, check to see if you have any ice build up on the inside of rim. Happens to me at least a few times every winter where I get crazy shake on the highway.
