If you are not stepping on the brakes and your steering wheel shake, then it is probably your wheel(s) out of balance.

Warped rotors don't come into play until you hit the brakes. Probably either tires out of balance or out of round.

I get EVER so slightly shaking. It's nothing too crazy.

When I'm in SS, D5 has slight vibration when braking from high speeds.
When I drop it down to D4 though to do some engine braking, there is minimal to no shaking @ all.

Warped rotors? I'm just itchin' to buy a BBK

Sounds like you threw a wheel weight. Go get them all balenced again.

Either that or you bent a rim.

i experienced slight wheel shake with warped rotors reciently. which got progressive worse. one of the front calipers "hung up" and was not releasing causing the pad to wear down and rotor warp/glazing. replaced caliper, pads and rotors, no more wheel shake.
