i recently notice that my car starts to shake like crazy at 65 mph and realize that i need hub rings for my rims. i found out the size of my rims are 73.1 mm and i cant find the size of the hub of the car. does anyone know. cause i went to a local shop and they are telling me that the cars hub is 72 mm and they dont make a hub ring that small. he bascally said iwas SOL. im not sure if he is right cause when i take the rims off it feels like there is a big gap between them. i have a 2005 545i with sport package.
