It's your outer joint on your CV shaft. Your doing alot of cornering at high speeds with your car, this is causing excessive wearing in the outer joint. I have had the same problem (On ramps 
) and there is no tell tail clicking on my car when I turn right or left. When I would go to back out though it would make a metal clunk which I assume was a sticking brake or something in the suspension. When I floored it (while driving) the vibration would get worse, when I let off though it would vibrate less. When I jacked up my car and tested everything it was all tight, however, when I rotated the tire I noticed the cv shaft did not rotate right away when I spun the tire. It maybe spun a 1/4" before it started to engage the shaft? Replace your outer joint, or just replace the whole thing and your problems will go away, mine did.

Keizer wheels. Don't know the lug nuts, I'm just using the ones in the big jar that came with the car. Might be good to check to make sure they are all the same weight.
Good tip on the cv joint , I'll take a look.
