The new wheels look great!!! Very nice. I would get them rebalanced instead of riding on them more.

When is it happening? ie. when braking or when accelerating or both? Also, at high speeds or or low?

Vishwen, First, was your wheels made specific to the E60? If so, I would get them Hunter Road Forced balanced. If not, make sure you know your bore size. Perhaps, the wheels were made for the E39 5 series. The E39's bore size is 74.1 as opposed to the E60 bore size 72.5-72.6. That difference in bore size will definitely cause vibrations during acceleration. If this is the cause, then you can fix it by getting hub rings to remove the play in the bore spacing. That's the worst, getting new wheels, but they dont feel right.
