shakes while braking

when i brake hard or gradually from high speeds, my 1999 Pontiac Grand Am shakes. i can feel in from the front driver side and the steering wheel shakes pretty violently. is this a brake problem or a wheel balancing issue?

Warped brake rotors.

Most likely,

But, I've had them with bent wheels.

i think a balance issue would vibrate weather braking or not .. symptoms point to warped brake rotors.. a shop may be able to machine them if not to thin, or you could put new ones on.
