Does it change when cornering/braking/accelerating?

My guesses would be:

Loose wheel nuts, wheel out of balance, or a warped disk. I doubt the warped disk though 'cos the rears don't have to do as much work as the front.

I'd check everything is done up tightly and if the problem is still there, get the wheel balance checked.
