Ok so i recently bought the miro m6 reps. I had them hunter road force balanced. I watched joe and schmo at the tire shop balance my rims. All 4 of them were completely zero'd out! Perfect balance. I did tape weights and pound on weights on the back of the rim.
After driving it away i didnt feel any vibration! I was so excited. After driving around for awhile i started getting vibrations. I was pretty scared. Continued to drive it and on some roads there was zero vibration. It seemed that certain roads with larger worn paths caused more vibrations. So i started looking into it and contacted another member! (forced528) He was having the same issues and was going to hell and back to fix it. After talking with him i bought new hub rings. The miro's come with crappy little metal ones. I bought these new rings from ebay. Forced528 had recommend them! I got them today and installed them all. I just got back from the test drive and i went to the street where my wheel vibrates the most and NOTHING! It feels like oem wheels again. 100% no vibrations for me! It is honestly the best 10 dollars i have ever spent on my car!! Im more happy now about these little 10 dollars rings than i was last night when i finished the calipers!!

My Ride: MY07 525xi Silver Gray
Model Year: 2007
It does not apply to us the xi/awd model ... the high/big offset Miro is hubcentric for our model.
BTW ... I didn't know that 535xi was available back in '06 
as stated in your sig.

I just had mine installed last week and I too have a bit of vibration but nothing overbearing. When they installed the rims, I was in the shop as well and they were balanced. On the box it said that the center bore was 72.56mm, isnt that the correct spec for our e60?

Hit someone on that road and see if they still vibrate. That's the true test.
