That's it right there...  More than likely someone has already offered a 
comment on this, however I think that is your trouble.  The hub-centric ring, 
the wheel, or the tire is out of round...  Put the sucker up on jacks, and 
carefully put the car in 4th or 5th and see where the vibration is from 
underneath...  All the usual fine print included, don't do this unless you 
know what you are doing, etc. etc...

Good Luck,
  David
