Why wheel wobble?

Why does my steering wheel wobble when I go over 100kmh

Wheel balancing. Take it to your local tyre fitter and have the front wheels balanced.

Cheers costs $30 for all 4 wheels so will get my Dad to take it to the shop to get it done.

Can also be due to bent wheels, usually on the inside rim where there is no support and bumping up a curb to quickly can damage it.

...and/or bulging tyre walls often on the inside of the wheel where they cannot be seen

But most likely to be out of balance wheel(s) as said above

I have had a look to see if the wheels are buckled in any way a couple months ago and I couldn't see anything wrong so it's probably just needs a wheel balancing.
Really should get it done.
