i just want to re-open this because i too myself have purchased wheels AND tires from tire rack and its ridiculous how i get a shimmy in my car once they went on ...i too have had all 4 wheels and tires re-mounted, and the wheels are not bent (Used my own money , tire rack never responded back about reimbursing me)im curious as to what NYC 135i's outcome has been?

If its not the wheels than it may be your suspension. Have you a nasty pothole recently? Those can bend brackets or loosen up bolts. Have your dealer get under there with a wrench and tighten up all of the suspension components

For me it was a bad balance AND the tires were out of round..get your tires tested on the hunter roadforce machine for out of round. Then tirerack has to reimburse you.
