Has anyone experience steering wheel shaking after putting on after market wheels from OEMWHEELSPLUS?

Did you use hub centric rings?

What wheels did you put on

Your wheels are probably riding lugcentric and not hubcentric . In order to fix you need a hub centric spacer to center the bore of the rim on the hub . This should fix your vibration.

I got the F10 M5 rims. It fits right on to my factory hub rings.

Ok so the rings are out of the picture . The balancing is good I take it ? Does it happen while braking , driving or both ?

Balancing is good I'm kinda sure. Had it done 3 times and at the local BMW dealer. Wondering if it's my control arms?
