I'm not going to deal with all that...I'm going with M166 M5 fronts and M166 M6 in the rear with a custom powdercoat job.
**AW did point out that an alignment might be needed since the suspension was altered by the previous owner...so if that is the cause of the vibration, new OEM wheels without an alignment will end up possibly vibrating as well...

so when you order your wheels just order 166's with M6 specs...no need to say m5 fronts and m6 rears....nice choice tho
Now, the shop installs TPMs, mounts tires and balances...no "hubcentric" issues to deal with, right?

Ok, I'm gonna schedule an alignment on Tuesday and go from there. If that doesn't resolve the issue, then I'll buy and powdercoat the 166s and call it a day.
