Wheel Vibration Question

If I get a vibration through the steering wheel, that comes on at 60 mph and goes away at 80mph is it wheel balance or rotors?
Is there a cheap way to eliminate one or the other?
Thanks in advance,
Kurt

Rotors only if it happens when you are on the brakes..Otherwise, wheel balance.

Balance or it could be an out of round wheel. Go to a shop with one of these
