Strange vibration

Not sure what this is, or what to look for, not knowing the car all that well yet.
I just put on the new rims and tires, everything was ok. Next day, I've noticed a vibration coming from the front drivers side when I am at highway speeds [80km or better] I do know my front rotors have a bit of a warp to them and having them changed out hopefully wed. but this feels different.

Any ideas what I could be looking at to be the problem? Don't want anything serious to happen until I can get to my mechanic wed morning.

TIA

chances are the new rim/tire weren't balanced properly in that corner.

vibrations are caused by resonance frequency caused by going a certain speed or above a particular speed.

I was wondering if maybe threw a weight as well, but from my experience with the jeep, a wheel being a bit unbalanced, caused a vibration from a very specific speed range. This vibrates from about 80km on up. [maybe just not noticeable under that] That's what's making think it's not a balance issue, although stranger things have happened! I'm just worried a ball joint or wheel hub will go on me

Well, went and got my front rotors/pads put in. Seems that the vibration was all because of my warped rotors. Somehow with the new rims they got worse. Go figure. All seems to be back to the normal vibes I get now.
Did find out that one of the sway bar links is pooched. Will have to replace that though.
