Play in the wheel will be from ball joints or tie rod ends.

Vibration is usually from a bad tire.
Yea I know I forgot to mention that. Cheap tires busted belts will make more noise and is not safe, a bubble in the sidewall, visible belts through the tire is a bad sign. If the wheel is out of balance and you could have a blowout.
