I just purchased some rims to put on my e60. The wheels are GFG Versailles which are made by Giovanna. So after getting the rims balanced I still noticed when I got to about 50 MPH there was a vibration. So I took it to another wheel shop to get balanced. The guy said the balance was off at the first place by 3.5 oz in the front right and 2.25 oz in the front left. So he rebalanced it. Got going down the road again, and at about 50 MPH i'd feel the vibration but not as strong. So I decided to take replace my rear wheels and get it the rear balanced. Well now the vibration is starting at about 55 MPH. I def need some help. Possible get some hub rings?

I believe the guy said it was 78mm or close to it. I would like to check it myself tho. How would I go about doing so?

After taking it to several car shops. I found a 78mm hub rings and put it on....STILL vibrating!! I thought i may need a bigger hub ring but the guy said he called giovanna and they said 78mm should do the job. well it didn't so the guys told me they wanted to pull the tires off n see if theres a bent rim. The thing that sucks is that the wheels are true 3 piece but are now discontinued.
Has anyone had as much problems with vibrating wheels as me?
