Nope. That's not how resonance works. It is frequency dependent. When you hit the right frequency (i.e. vehicle speed) the vibrations get amplified enough to be felt through your steering wheel. On something like a car it can be complicated, as there are normal drivetrain vibrations plus new vibrations due to damage. Those vibrations add together and there can be multiple resonant frequencies.
I agree in checking tire/wheel first. And inspection may not show damage. You could have knocked off a wheel weight and only a spin balance will show that problem.
