I just had a full wheel alignment and everything else they do, and now the steering wheel vibrates when going at 100km/h+.
Whats the deal? should I take it back cuz they stuffed something up?

Same happened to me. I thought I had a suspension problem after I got new tyres, until I went to a better place and had my wheels rebalanced. Much better! Also, your one of your wheels may be out of round.
You could try swapping front&back and see if the problem changes, if it does it might suggest a wheel balance problem rather than a front susp problem.

My steering wheel does this too ;(
It all started when I got some 15" rims and new tyres put on... I was running spacers for the wheels. I then changed to a different offset rim and it helped a bit.... Sorta counts out wheels...
Whats the deal with tie rod ends?

i cant believe how much balancing actually does!
i had a spare on the front left and the steering wheel nearly broke my hands on the freeway, swapped the weights over and its smooooooth as!

Cyberpunk & Necros are your wheels aftermarket? If so, and they are lug-centric rather than hub-centric, that may well be youyr problem. Lug-centric (ie the wheel locates using the lugs, rather than a snug fitting centrebore on the hub) can be a PITA. You might need to get some rings made up so the centrebores of your rims sit snugly on your hubs.

Have you flatspotted your tyres, this is why my brother's steering wheel vibrates at 80kph. Damn those kangaroos, they never know when to cross the road and not get hit.

Got a wheel balance done on saturday, all fixed, no vibrating and just general driving feels much better, only $15 so i'm happy.
