Time for an inspection at a tire and alignment shop. Could be a bent wheel, warped brake rotor, worn ball joint, worn tie rod end, etc. Many of these parts have special inspection procedures and won't show up by just grabbing and wiggling them.

If you recently went through deep snow, don't overlook something as minor as snow and ice buildup behind a wheel.

Rattling noises are not always serious, but you won't know until someone inspects it. Could just be broken or worn anti-sway bar links or bushings, or missing anti-rattle hardware on the front brake pads.

My car does not do this until I reach speed of 65 plus mph.

That sounds most likely like a wheel balance issue. You could also have a U-joint going out.
