is it all the time your driving or after certain speeds?
did you just buy the car? if so, has it been in an accident?
have you replaced your tires recently? if so, do you know if they were properly balanced?
if its when you brake, have you checked to see if your rotors are still good?
if your going to post something like this atleast include some more info.

Yeah more info is needed. Could be something as small as your tires were not balanced properly

If its speed related aim towards things that rotate (tires usually, bent wheel, axles) if the wheel shake happens during braking its usually warped rotors.) If unsure rotate ur wheels. If the problem goes to the seat of your pants that should tell you its wheel/tire related... hope this helps

Thanks guys. All that I can tell you is that I got the car december 31st, hasnt been in an accident, same tires are still on it, so I dont know if they were properly balanced or not. It just started doing this about 2 weeks ago & it does it when I get up to 55mph or higher & it doesnt do it when I brake lol

I had the same issue and it was due to half the weights falling off on one of the wheels, maybe have a tire shop check it out.That is usually free for them to check it out.
