Sounds more like a wheel imbalance. Check the insides of your rims to see if there is any mud/debris stuck on the inside, as this can unbalance the wheel and lead to shaking.

^What Pyrexxx said. Check for anything sticking to the tire/rim inside and out and if the problem persists get a wheel balancing.

B-Wurm 😃

I had a very similiar thing happen on my last car (an acura integra) and it turned out to be the axles. I realize its FWD and might behave differently when worn. However I was told that when the inside knuckles wear out it causes this kind of shaking at high speeds and under acceleration.

If you just put the wheels on, I can pretty much gaurantee its the balance.
