Default slight vibration/shudder at 80+ MPH

Anyone know what this might be? I was hoping it might just be an alignment issue and not something more serious. Whenever I drive over 80 MPH, I notice the car starts vibrating, its not a very harsh vibration, more like one of those massage chairs set on very low.

Maybe its clutch related? My clutch is slipping too and is getting replaced with and RS4 one soon hopefully.

does that happen randomly or because of something that could lead to more problems?

One of the wheel weights could have fallen off.

Default Same exact thing with me

Does it from like 80-85 or so, then goes away. No bent rim, clutch is fine, always done it. Same with different wheels/tires, got alignment. I dunno what it is?
