When im driving my 1.2 8v 95 B at around 65-75mph on the motorway the steering wheel shakes like mad and have to either drop down to 60mph or go up to roughly 80mph ( Before speeding comments are made I went up to 80 to see if it stopped ).
Had the wheels balanced and alligned and that hasn't made a difference, got a long motorway journey this week and was wondering if there was anything I could check / get sorted before this?

best bet, swap the front wheels to the back and see if it keeps doing it if not then its the wheels..
if its still doing it then whip the front disks off (which doesnt take long at all) and place them on a flat serface and check for them being warped

Aftermarket ones. I have been told I haven't got sprigot rings and that could be the problem.
I really have no idea and need to take it to a garage but worried i'll get charged a stupid amount for a small fix!

If you have aftermarket wheels then your problem is most likely with the spigot rings.. or lack of!!
as the wheel will not be sitting on the hub itself.. just bolted around...
all you need is to get yourself some spigot rings.. and put them on..
is a simple fix! 
just find out what make the wheels are on the car...
google them to find out the centre bore...
and then google a company that supplies spiggot rings
thank you please

Wheels balanced? Seems the speed wheel wobble happens then you can "drive through" it at higher speeds.

They're fox racing wheels.
15" Multispoke evo 3 (I think?)
Been trying to find a centre bore for them but nothing's come up so far
