I have a feeling I'm also in for a lot of hurt tomorrow when I go back to the vendor. But I will have to try.

wow bro, just wow... I sure hope that you can get your money back and get a nice set already. Just goes to show ya tho - can't sell your OEMs rightaway - gotta hang on to them a little bit, just to be sure 
Well, I wish you all the luck you can have dealing with this. Just don't give up til you get what you want - someone did you wrong out there, don't leave it alone. Hope that when you get back home after today and sit down by your TV to kick your legs up for a bit, you'll be a happy camper. Well, actually, I wish that to all people at all times, but to you today especially
I'd say "I'll pray for you", but to paraphrase Jay-Z, I've been "praying so much that I'm an atheist", so I wish you luck!

MY WHEELS PROBLEM IS 100% FIXED. I put on the right sized poly carbonate hub rings and got rid of the aluminum ones. No whobble. No vibration.
I am very happy with my wheels now. Thanks for everyone's help.

hub ring is 72.56mm / 74.1mm (which is
the e39's hub bore size)
the e39's hub bore size)
so my friend who had replica 19", was told by rim shop guy that spacers r not suitable to stagger the wheels for his E60 bcos his rims r design for E39 (bigger bore hole size), so if use spacer, such vibration will occur.
so moral of stroy, if u wish to stagger yr wheels, make sure yr replicas r not old design (for E39)
