Car Is Shaking

At around 80 mph, I feel the car shaking under me, and also the steering will vibrates a little. Other people in the car can also feel the shaking. I've had this problem for a little while now. I did take it to a professional and he said that it might be the rims because of all the dents. Could that be the problem or is it something else?

have your tires balanced, and rims checked for being bent.

Do the rims have to be badly bent for the car to start shaking, or can a couple of little dents do it also?

if its out of balance it doesnt matter. Thats why when you get new tires you have them balanced to eliminate shaking. What do you mean by "DENTS" and where are they? Id still just bring it to a tire place and tell them you get shaking while driving and have them check your rims/tires for balance

Yea its fucking annoying! I'm going about 75-80 and the whole car starts to shake.

By dents i mean like when you look at the wheel's actual rim, you can see little dips as if you hit something and bent the rim in.

Could be...I would check your alignment first. If the alignment is okay, it may be the rims...
