Let's start with the basics...

here are some of the basic things to check.
1) wheel/tire out of balance or out of round.
2) front wheel alignment. This can cause a shimmy, especially in a front drive car.
3) If it's a brake rotor, an easy way to tell, is to get up to speed..about 70-75mph, when no one is around you step on the brakes pretty hard (not hard enough to activate the ABS). If you feel the pedal pulsate, then your rotors may have some run-out.
More than likely, it's item 1 or 2...or both.
