You don't mention the tires. Vibration that is unrelated to the BRAKES
(note spelling) is usually the tires. They are one or more of these: badly
mounted, feathered, cupped, out-of-true or out-of-round.

Is there a steering wheel wobble when you accelerate slowly from extremely
low speeds?

A vibration at the highway speeds you mention that happens ONLY upon
acceleration can be worn inner CV joints. Severely worn OUTER joints can
also cause this symptom, but such joints would emit a heavy clunkclunkclunk
as you rounded corners.
