why do you say it doesnt seem like it needs a balance? vibrations in steering wheel at high speeds are almost always balancing issues

could be any number of things:
wheels/tires
axles
LCA compliance bushings
motor mounts

you need to provide more info in order to narrow down the list.
recent install of new tires?
just started happening?
recently hit a pothole?
only happens when accelerating in town from a stop?
only happens at hwy speeds cruising?

the more descriptive you are as to WHEN this vibration occurs the better we can help you figure it out (we aren't all mechanics on here, but many of us have had similar things occur with our vehicles and had them fixed).

if you search, you will find there are a number of existing past threads about this topic.

Step one: Rotate your tires. If it goes away or moves, you know it's a wheel/tire issue. If it doesn't change, then come back here and let us know more.

Step 2: Reach under there and check your CV boots (all 4). This is an easy check by laying on the ground and reaching up under the car to either end of the driveshaft. Vibration under acceleration is a typical symptom of worn inner CV joints. If the boots are torn, all the grease gets thrown out of them. Then it's only a matter of time before the 3 spherical roller bearings wear out.
