I hope you mean your car...

Does it vary with speed? You could've thrown a wheel weight.

To be safe, check your rims and suspension for damage.

Check the tires for a tread separation or damaged sidewall. You should be able to see or feel a bulge in the tire tread or sidewall if you have one.

Glad the wheel didn't come off - that would have really caused some damage!
