No pulsing on the brakes, eh? That pretty much rules out the brakes then, IMHO.
Just thought of another possibility. Check your tie rods for free play. Jack up each front tire and try to rotate the wheels in a direction that they'd move when they're turning left and right. If you feel significant clunking that might be the cause. A little bit is normal. Yeah, I know that's pretty damn vague. If you take it in for an alignment, ask them to check it too. Or just take it in to them and ask them to check it. Most places would be happy to do it for free on the chance they can sell you some services.
You've got 135k km on it?... not miles, right? If it is km, that seems a bit early for wheels bearings to go bad. Do you run on rough roads a lot, or drive it pretty hard?
So you put "new" rims and tires on it?... That would rule out a bad tire or bent rim.
I'd still betcha it's your wheel bearings. Before I replaced mine, it would vibrate like mad between 65 and 75 MPH. Above or below that, it was a lot better; still there, but much reduced. It also had another resonance at around 20-25 MPH. Very much lower in amplitude, but noticeable. Everywhere else, speed-wise, it vibrated, but not as bad.
