As everyone said - get the wheels balanced. Most places will do it for cash, as its a simple 10 minute job per wheel. Be careful where you go however, I've had to have a wheel rebalanced a couple of times because the first lot didn't seem to know what they were doing and really messed it up

Also check drive shafts. (as a last resort)
Found on mine that the inner cvs were shot, so the shaft flapped about,always at its worst between 75 - 90. Has took months to find. Has been to Subaru and another supposed specialist and they both failed to spot it.

On a non Subaru I couldn't get my wheels to balance. I tried 3 or 4 times at various tyre fitters and gave up. The imbalance was really bad I changed the front tyres for some Avons (previously cheapo-no-named) and the vibration disappeared! I don't understand what happened but the quality tyre sorted the problem.
