I'm curious to see how the design of those flow with the E60. Sweet choice though.

I was perusing the tirerack web site and noticed that it says your new OZ rims require centering rings. Were you aware of this? Did you ever check the bore size of the hub on these? Just curious. I would hate to think you'd have to use hub rings on such expensive rims.

I was aware and they are included with the wheels. Does it make a difference that i'm not aware of?
If the rings are too small, and you had wiggle room around the hub and your wheel, then you could possibly end up with an improperly seated rim when securing the bolts in place....hence, vibration.

Do a search about it. Some are better than others, and I guess the main point is that you want to make sure the fit is snug with the rings...with no room for the wheels to be moving around when you tighten down the lugs. If the rings are not properly sized (which I am sure they will) be, it could create vibration issues, since the wheels rely on the hub for being perfectly balanced.
