Default Vibration Through The Steering Wheel

Right i've had the 18's balanced twice now and im still getting vibration coming through the steering wheel once i get to 60mph is there anything i can check that would possibly cause this?
I might change the fronts and backs around to see if this helps but im sure it wont.
Any help or advise would be much appreciated

Could be warped discs. I am having the same problem on mine at the moment.

It could be the tyre itself, have you tried swapping wheels front/rear yet?

Sounds exactly the same as mine, and i have been told it is the discs.

Definately worth swapping wheels front to back, if that cures the problem it will be cheaper than replacing the discs!!!
