Chasing Steering Wheel Shimmy Issues

My 2002 3.0 w/102k miles has developed an annoying wheel shimmy between 50 and 65 mph. It came w/2011 E70 Star Spoke 210 wheels with Michelin run flats. After recently replacing the worn run flats w/Michelin Premier LTX's it has started shimming. I have been back 3 times and today they were supposedly re-balanced with the cone & spring on the inside of the wheel simulating the hub-centric mounting on the vehicle. This did not help.
Do I need centering rings for the E70 wheels or are the E70 wheels hub-centric on the E53 hubs w/o the rings?
I have E39 wheels on my E24 and I have to use them in this application.

Thanks,
John
