Jack, did you buy some BMW wheels?
If so, yes, the center hole is a lil bit too big, but you can buy some rings that make your wheel sit right

Something cheap, that you will let go for no more than $100. The center hub hole for mine are a bit too big, and even if they're balanced, the car still shakes. |

Do you have to buy a bunch of thin ones, and use as many as you need, or do you tell them "I need one for Camaro-BMW?

I don't know, I think it's better you drive somewhere and they see which ones fit. They have them in different sizes...

or you just tell them the diameter of your center hub, then they must know... |

I wonder why they didn't say anything about those at the balancing place.  I think they just automatically classified me as another dumb American who put BMW wheels on his Chevy.

That's sad. But it's everywhere like that today. They just want money from you and dont give a chit if you crash bcoz of the wheels. |

Well if they wanted money, they could have balanced the wheels, fixed the flat I asked them to, and finally they could have sold me the rings that I needed for the wheels. Strange. |

True! I'm sure they thought about the rings after I left.

the center rign cpuld be helpful but there is also a diffrence in size. bmw have 120 mm and camaro has 120.7 mm so the best way to mount wheels from bmw is to use "floating" type lugs |
