Check the wheel bearing, jack the car up off the ground and push up and down on the side of the wheel.

what shaper are your tires in? Is the car lowered? Sometime unbalanced tires will cause a "shimmy"

If you're hearing noises from the wheel, it could aslo be your break indicator, you have enough air in your tires, perhaps too much air?
