I just cannot recognize this forum lately... I don't know if it is the F10 or what killed it, but daaaaang... 
OP:
Did you install the hub-centric rings when you put the wheels on? If you got your VMR's new, they should have been included. I can bet you, hub-centric rings will take care of the vibration.
There's also a very distant chance that you have defective tires that are not perfectly round.
Also, rule out bad balancing. I suggest finding a local shop that does Road Force balancing and having them balance the wheels until they "zero out" on all sides.

man I have tried to find any shops who know about BMWs, but my result was nothing. I live in Charlotte, NC and most ppl who got BMW cars are 40 and older. They dont care about moding cars and stuff like that. The only place I trust here is my local dealership and the dont do moding

Approx. one mile from your location.
I called for you.
7:00am - 5:30pm Speak to Mike.
$20 per wheel - kinda high but it will save life on your car from stopping constant vibration at high speeds (bushings, ball joints etc) I know you're not planning on keeping the car forever but make it easy on the car and the next owner. Cars have feelings too. lol

tsk tsk tsk.........go use a Hunter GPS9700 Road Force Balancer. Measure the wheel's bore against you hub to find ring size. they can do that for you. But make sure they're balanced correctly.
