I bought it from http://www.323motorsports.com/shop/index.php out of Inglewood. They're the only ones that had them available. I am glad I haven't sold my original wheels since I may end up keepin' em.
what brand?
im not searching through all those wheels
you need to call the manufacturer and ask what the hub size is for their wheels

It's inconsistent and I am still tryin' to figure it out. But I am sensing that it may be the hub ring. I will call Miro when they open and see if they can help. I will keep my OEM's around just in case.

Do any of current Miro M6 reps owners know what their whee's bore size is in mm? Also, can anyone confirm what the hub size is for our e60's?
I am trying to look for the 'right' hub centering rings for my car.
Thanks for your help.

.edit: And usually the most needed hub ring is 72,56mm / 74,1mm (which is the e39's hub bore size). My guess is that your Miro's hub is this e39 size.

I was thinking about getting the M6 Miros at some point, but this thread kinda made it seem alot had to be done to make them actually work.
Is the only downside to buying OEM 167's that it's going to be really pricey? They say do it right the first time or do it again. But $2000+....

I had the exact same problem and thought it was the m5 replicawheels, but after much troubleshooting putting on OEM wheels and I still had the vibration I took the car to the dealer and it had nothing to do with my wheels. It was a worn out bushing in the middleshaft that was the cause and now its all ok. 
So much for all of you OEM-wheel fanboys!
