Default serious vibrations 1993 camaro lt1

the car vibrates pretty bad it make me think i have a bent rim because the more speed i get it sort of smooths out and it feels like it coming from the rear and it makes the whole car have a vibration and wobble. hope you guys get what i am saying, this is my first camaro and i am learning everything from scratch, i am use to my 84 s10 with 383 700r4 and 3.42 limited slip.

Have someone else drive the car while you hang your head out the window and watch the tire. If you have a bent wheel or axle, you'll see a wobble.

Check to make sure you aren't missing a wheel weight. Easier to replace than a bent rim.
