The after market 20's I purchased came with a set of rims but the seller tells me the measurements on my X5 are 72.56mm.

Because of the difference in sizes from what I read here and what he tells me, should I resume I have the wrong hub rings?

I get shakes when I hit about 55mph.

Thanks
E53 hub bore size is: 72.56. E70 bore is 74.1...

if those wheels you are ref'ing are indeed 72.56, they are
same as oe, and your '06 has the same hub bore as any E53.
If the wheels in discussion are oe E53 bore/72.56, why is seller
suggesting you need/want rings at all?

The dreaded 50-65 mph shimmy is usuall wheel balance, in my experience.
And/or, an eccentric wheel...
