Oscillation/ jitter coming from the front

Hello Everyone,

Hope everyone's enjoying the summer.

I've noticed a jitter or oscillating vibration coming from the front of the car which is more noticeable at certain speeds (between 55-65 km/h) It does become less noticeable at higher or lower speeds, as far as I can tell. It feels like I'm going over minute pumps constantly (I can more so hear it than feel it. The steering wheel does not seem to vibrate with the car, but rather the oscillation is just slightly audible.) Becomes obvious only on smooth roads.

I'm planning on a long trip (300 km + roundtrip) this weekend so I've decided not to bring the car in to the dealer before then. suspecting probably a wheel balance issue. I'll try to update you on this probably late next week.

I'm running Y spokes 20" stocks sports PKG (Dunlops ROF Sport Maxx) wheels

Hopefully some wheel weights will do the trick, but if they want me to replace the tires....ouch....
