AMG rims should be hubcentric if they are indeed OEM, but it's worth a look.

I had a shimmy issue that did not correct itself until I bought a set of hub rings. Plastic ones at first ($15) and the shimmy immediately disappeared!

Plastic rings weren't durable though and eventually I bought a set of anodized aluminum ones ($25). Unfortunately, the shop didn't carry the exact size I needed so I eneded up taking them to get machined to the correct factory specs ($60).
