2004 Accord DX, vibration 60-70mph
2004 Accord DX, car has 100K miles, I have steering wheel and body vibration that starts about 55-60 miles per hour and ends about 70-75 mph,
mostly during acceleration. Car purchased as new and all maintenance performed on schedule.
Alignment has been done about 5K miles ago and it has new well balanced tires (double checked).
I think it may be either CV joints or theoretically poorly resurfaced front rotors (has been done about 5K miles ago).
Any help or suggestion would be appreciated, car is on the edge of Honda plus warranty and I still have a chance to have it repaired under warranty. I don't trust dealership to diagnose the problem, so I need to be able to justify a need for repair...

If it was the brake rotors it would also vibrate (and worse) when you apply the brakes.
That does sound to me like a wheel or tire causing the vibration (my first guess), but it could be something else. I'm not a mechanic.
Does the vibration change or even go away if you lift completely off the throttle at those speeds?
