Tires good? When were they last balanced? Any impacts with curbs or large pot holes leading to a possible bent rim? Inner and outer tie rods good? Has it been on a lift and inspected? Shakes a little bout 60-80 just rolling? Under acceleration? While braking? Lots and lots of things can cause shaking.
Tires, Rims, Struts, or Axles...that pretty much covers what causes speed related shakes.
Tires
- Out of balance
- Damaged
Rims
- Bent (even barely out of round can cause vibration)
Struts
- Failed strut can cause the tire to bounce/hop
- Usually will have noticeable odd tire wear pattern
Axles
- Generally vibration under acceleration

My problem was the axles. Had friend (retired Honda mechanic) install both front axles , he got the Carquest CV shafts, brand new, not remanufactured
CARQUEST CV Shafts New CV Axle Shaft Assembly (advance auto parts) , cost me $375.00 total, quote around $1000.00 at Acura Dealer for work
vibration is gone, car drives smooth again....
StealthTL-S , was your steering wheel shakes while cruising on freeway or just under acceleration ? Ive been fighting with my steering wheels shake from 65 to 80 on highway ( Cruising) .
I am on TEINS, got my balanced done ( 3 times) + alignments , have tried different set of wheels ...samething. All my bushings , tie rods, compliance etc...they all in good shape. Don't know what the heck its going on. The only thing I can thing of right now its the axle and I did order ( OEM dealer) driver side.....we'll see what happens when it gets here. Any speed under 65 the car drive smooth and firm.

Yea, I am no expert, but I think it is your suspension , alignment/balance, but you said you got it aligned 3 times! Maybe try to go back to stock height suspension as last resort if you have to....
