check the wheel bolts, hit any potholes? probably worth getting them off and checked for buckles etc.

Bushes dont usually cause vibrations tho but worth a check, get it up in the air n give it a once over

So you suddenly developed a wheel wobble so decided to take the car up to 100 to see if it stopped?

    LOL^

    In all seriousness whenever i've had an issue like this and its been rotational i.e wheels out of balance or driveshafts, its always been vibrating at a fixed speed or more of a smaller range of +-10mph or so. The fact you are saying that it does it from 20-90+ makes me think its something a more fundamental like a engine mount being royally shafted or some bush/worn out rubber related issue.
    When i first had my car I was chasing loads of bits about trying to find a cause. In the end for me it was a bit of everything :s
    -I replaced the lower engine mount (have you checked this btw?)
    -a driveshaft
    -Noticed my dash wasnt properly secured on the passenger footwell (This was making all of the above and below seem worse than it was)
    -Got my wheels balanced x number of times before finding someone that actually did it and them tell me they were over balanced 10x too much on the wrong side.
    (FunFact, I lost 500-600g of rotational mass across all 4 wheels that day... That how bad ALL of them were)
    -a warped brake disc

    After each of those things being replaced there was a marked improvement until they were finally all done and it was gone, so each one was part of the cause.
