Your wheels are most likely out of balance.

yea like he said, usually when u hit a certain speed and it shakes.... ur alignment or balance is off. Unless u have worn tires, bad tires can do it too. Take it to a tire shop, they'll usually check it for free

Agreed, balance and if not, check the bushings for balljoints, check tie-rods, and check steering rack bushings for play or demolished rubber.

I had that same problem after I lowered my car, camber got really bad and bad tires were to blame. No one realizes how much of a difference tires actually make.
