BMW wheels are normally

5 Stud - PCD 120 - Offset 18-42

with a center bore of EITHER 72.5 OR 74.0.....probably 74.0mm on ealier uprights.

Unfortunately BMW being BMW this is a rather odd size and is different to that of most manufacturers. So you will probably need to look at aftermarket wheels if you cant find any BMW ones to suit.

Sorry probably not the answer you wanted

According to www.wheelweights.net (really handy site) there are a few bmw wheels that arent too hefty.

E30 M3 alloys 16lbs

But these may be a bit £££

There are also some 13" listed for a 320 that weigh in at 10lbs !!!! (but im not sure i believe that)
