Vibrating Steering Wheel

Hello. I was on my wat to the office today when my steering wheel starting vibrating like crazy. As I started to accelerate more, the vibration increased. Can anyone tell me what might be the problem?

Thank you.

Do you have any snow or ice inside your rims or in the spokes? That can cause an imbalance which will lead to the symptoms you described.

Most likely ice had collected on one of your rims...This will throw off the weight off the wheel and vibrate more as you increase in speed... Check them out and kick the ice free...
