All cars are different, but if you take a typical example of unsprung mass resonance of 14 cycles per second and Ruby sized tyres with 800 revs per mile, any unbalance won't cause pronounced shaking till you reach about 60 mph.
Nobody seemed to bother much about wheel balancing when top speeds were 40 to 50 mph
Having said that, it would still feel nicer to have things balanced, epecially if for some reason the wheel/tyre was a long way out. With slender tyres and central weight placement, static balancing should be enough.
I can feel an experiment coming on with an old hub, bearings and stub axle clamped in the vice.
