Highspeed vibration

My C63 estate has just over 10000km. Recently it has started to vibrate at high speeds. Thought it might be worn tires combined with weights beeing a bit off so I waited to see what happened after I changed tires and balanced the wheels.

It didn't help, it even got worse after a while.

Did a second check and they saw that both right side wheels were bent. (I didn't hit anything hard, but my father did once...so I guess that could have caused the damage to the wheels)

Replaced the two bent wheels, did alignment and balance of all 4 wheels, but it didn't change anything, still vibrations at 130km/h and the faster I go, the faster the vibrations are (not stronger though). They get stronger in curves then on the straights though.

Its not a very strong vibration, it was much worse before I changed the damaged wheels, but its still there and its irritating.

What is wrong with my car?

might try the front bearings too - they not too expensive and that was my problem (slight high speed vibration that was more pronounced in sweeping curves)

+1. Bearings. He is right, even the smallest little kink to the bearings and you will be offset. But also check for any arm damage or damage to steering rod.

I have this problem, at speed over 120km/h there is a slight vibration and get worse as the speed builds up. I re-balanced all my wheels and re-done the tracking but its still there, did changing the front bearings solve your problem?
