Comments:

I may not be understanding your problem but, typically when a car shakes after passing a certain speed, it is a sign of a balance problem, however you may be describing something else when you say it wobbles and goes out of control.

When your tires were installed, they should have been balanced, and if you didn't notice a problem at the start it may be because a balancing weight may have come off since then.

If balancing does not solve the problem, you may have a problem with bearings which would have to be fixed. It may be possible to determine this at the same time as you check the tires for balance.
