The vibration could be many things. Have you checked the basic things such as tire balance, check tires for belt seperation, bent rim, universal joints...? Also, where do you feel the vibration the most, the steering or the seat of the car?

Okay, if you feel it there the most, then it is in the front. Rotate the tires to see if it changes and you feel it more in the seat and floor. If you do, then it is tire related, balance, bent rim...

Let me know what you find.
