Don't forget to check your ball joints. Tires being unbalanced from uneven wear(bad alignment) can be the cause 90% of the time. A bad ball joint can cause some wicked steering wheel shake. My steering wheel was jumpin badly at 65+ about 2 years ago, bad enough that two hands and all my strength couldn't stop it. The problem: driver's side ball joint.

If the harmonic balancer had anything to do with it, the vibration would be worse with engine rpm and not vehicle speed. Also I do not think the balancer would transmit that much vibration into the steering wheel.

The strange thing is, it doesn't vibrate ALL of the time doing 65+, but I'd say about 75%-90% of the time. I'll have take it to the shop and see what they say...
Inspect your driveshaft and u-joints.. My car had a horrible vibration at around 60 when i got it.. It was missing one of the caps on the u-joint.. I guess mine wasn't so much in the steering wheel though.. My whole car shook..
