sorry I should have been more clear, when i first posted I was looking for a simple bolt on of my new wheels but now that they are on I need to get this balance problem sorted out with my new setup.

So to aswer your question I need a shop that is familiar with large wheels and associated balance work

Try to find a place that has Hunter GPS9700/9712 machine and do the balancing again. Makes a huge difference.

"Tire to wheel match-mounting
The tire is positioned on the wheel so that the low point of the tire is matched to the high point of the wheel. This procedure is also referred to as match-mounting. The Hunter 9700/9712 balancing machine performs this procedure.
Wheel/tire installation
The wheel/tire assembly is mounted to the vehicle's hub in a manner that allows the Radial Force high point of the assembly to be neutralized by taking up the inherent clearance in the wheel-to-hub mating surface. The Hunter 9700/9712 balancing machine identifies the high point of the wheel/tire assembly. "

Most of the BMW dealers has this machine.
