1) Aileron control surfaces or trim tab are/is out of wack (use a digital protractor)
2) Aileron cable tensions are out of wack (Use a cable tensionmeter)
3) You've got a warped wing (use the digital protractor)
4) Your V-stab / rudder is causing the roll (use a tape measure)
5) You've got asymmetrical flaps (digital protractor)

Geometry is cheap and easy if you're smart enough to know how to apply it.

Regardless - your airplane is not airworthy if it rolls 50 deg/sec without you making it do that.

I would ground your airplane

Mine did the same, but only at 180 mph. At landing speeds it was not noticeable. A very small tweak on the trim tab fixed the problem. The tweak was so small (using my fingers when getting gas), you can't really see a change but boy did it fix the roll problem. And it as a pretty hard roll. No affects on speed or yaw. Ball still centered at cruise.
