Do you hit the brakes when this happens? If so your breaks could be warped or possibly something isn't tight on the front suspension.

If you have aftermarket wheels be sure you use the hub centering ring. I forgot mine once and got some decent shake. Went away as soon as I put them back on

All zeros means nothing on an out of round wheel. Spin it up on the machine and watch the tire very closely. You will probably see it hopping up and down or side to side.

Do a roll out and runout test on the rims. If the wheel is shaking it's the front tires. If the mirror shakes or you can feel it in the seat if your pants it the rears.

Have same issue. I've tried new rims, new tires, new alignment, now new coilovers and sways. If you find out a reason please let us know because I have not got it figured out. Dealer said due to my heavily modified engine they can not replicate my issues. Same as the notorious front end clunk.
