Can't comment on the specifics of the W12, but would have thought they would be no different to the rest of the D3 A8/S8s.

The one thing that caught my eye was 'spigot rings'. Assuming that you've been running the wheels on the other car, and everything has been fine, and the W12 has been fine until the swap, and now you're experiencing a wobble, spigot rings would be my choice for the problem.

Prior to getting the A8 (and knowing little about cars), I had a '01 A4, put a set of bigger wheels on it, and then had a one day trip down to Wexford and back. Once above 60mph, it started shaking. Found out afterwards that the centre bore on the wheels was bigger, and a set of spigot rings cured the problem.
