wheel need re-balancing or alignment

I just got new g-forces mounted on the front wheels, and so last night I decidedto test them out. Well around 120-130 the car was shaking and so I decided that I had to slow down. It was definitly from the front end, so I was wondering if I just got a crappy balancing job, which by the way cost me $70 and took the morons over 3 hours, or maybe its alignment?

Was the car vibrating at 65 or it just happend at 120-130??? It is not a wheel alignment it is most likey a blanance or a bent rim. Hope this helps you out. Was it vibrating when you were braking b/c then its probably warped rotors

Remember-
pull/wheel off center = alignment

vibration= balance/bent rim

that seems extremly expensive and a long time to get them balanced. see if they can cut you a deal.
