Are the wheel nuts fully tight?

If they are, sound like the wheels might be out of balance.

Wheels out of balance, and / or maybe brake discs are warped, this would cause bad vibration on braking.

Sounds to me, as others have said, that they need balancing, if not i'd suggest maybe warped discs and also one of the wheels might be fubar'd
