You might want to try getting the wheels balanced ON the car. I had my wheels
balanced off the car and had a vibration in the steering wheel at 60-75 mph.
Took it back and had them done on the car. Vibration gone. Tip from the list:
paint a dot on the wheel and the hub for matching purposes before you take the
car in or you lose the on-car balancing benefit if the wheel has to come off and
you lose track of exactly how it was mounted.

Listers,
One more question concerning my Magenta TR6.
I've not drove the car in a couple of years, but while I drove it as a
daily driver, the car would vibrate in the 25-65 mph range. Once I
reached somewhere over 70MPH the cars ride was smooth as silk. Since
the car didn't do this idling it makes me thing that it's not engine
related. At first I thought it might be suspension, but after reading
the triumph list for a couple of weeks, I now think the vibration
might be bent or warped hubs. Does anyone have any insight on what
the problem could be? The car is currently getting a new paint job,
and Interior, I would love it if the car rode as good as it is going
to look.
Thanks,
