hello everyone,

I boghut a VMR V710 last year from local person. he bought the wheels for his BMW 2001 540i. My car is 2004 525i.
I just realized that the center bore size is different from my car and his car

my question is, is this the reason that makes the vibration when I drive over 50 miles??
what is the solution to fix this problem?? coz every time I balance my wheels, they go out of balance after a while

your help is really appreciated. thank you

E39 is 74.1 and E60 is 72.56 so you will need to buy hub rings. Check Ebay or google BMW hubcentric rings. If you have no rings installed, then good chance you're getting vibration from it.

actually it could be something else because I know some people bore out their rims to fit the E39 center bore.

Look inside the rims for the center bore and offset to confirm.
