Default mk6 fiesta bad vibrations above 50mph

put new wheels on the car the other week

had them balanced on friday and still vibrating badly...in all fairness it probably got worse

put a different set of wheels on because i thought it may be down to the fact the previous set of wheels had no spigot rings fitted

its still vibrating...the car feels like an absolute dog to drive

its only when accelerating and only really above 50mph

its not a wheel bearing or anything as i checked it the other day

feels more like nearside...thought it my have been the hub bent or somet stupid like that but i have not hit any kerbs or anythin...i reckon it must be a cv joint but dunno whether it would be inner or outer...there is no clicking on full lock which makes me possibly think its an inner unless there is a fault or somet with the driveshaft...i just cant get my head round why it would of progressivly got worse over about the last 100 miles the car has done...proper head scratcher...any advice before i start trying to get a second hand drive shaft tommorrow

i actually thought it could of been the bearing on the offside shaft as its equal length and seems more likely to be out of balance but everything is tight...

anyone else experienced anythin like this
