e70 with style 87 wheels

Does anybody else have an e70 (2007+) with style 87 wheels?

Here what I did: modfied the style 87 wheels by having a machine shop precision cut the center bore to 74.1mm (with 0.01mm tolerance). Installed 4 new TPMS (Beru), 4 new tires (Falken 275/45R-20, slightly taller than stock for smoother ride, but only 2.3% difference in speedo error) and roadforce balanced (using a Hunter 9700). Zero vibration! I was skeptical at first, because these are replicas. BMW tech told me that they balance without any issues ...

This is a non-staggered set up (F&R 9.5x20, ET 45), allowing for front to rear rotation.

So far this is the only e70 (2007+) that I have seen with the style 87 wheels:
