The E53 X5 has a hub size of 72.56, whereas a number of replica rims have a hub size of 74.1. So if your replicas in fact have the 74.1 hub size and you are not using hub centric rings then there is a very good chance that is causing your vibrations. Without the rings you are counting on the lugs to center the rim, and even the slightest deviation will show up as a vibration at higher speeds.
Hub centric rings are very cheap, so you have nothing to lose by giving it a try.
