Serious vibrations and wobbling

Had my 8000k service on my new q5 2013 last week...

Today I noticed severe wobbling and vibration when getting up to speeds above 50-60km an hour... To the point I felt I needed to pull over.

All the tires look fine. I'm guessing they did a rotation.

Any suggestions what this could be?

Not sure what part of Canada you're from but in Ontario we got a ton of sticky snow yesterday which froze overnight. I had ice buildup on the inside of my rims which normally causes vibration.

I was going to say something to that effect.
