Those look suspiciously like a 3- series bolt pattern. I would find out what they came off of.

M3 wheels. Probably not going to fit right.

bolt pattern should be fine. centerbore should be fine too, but offset might be the kicker

Yes, as Crazyfastman have said - "bolt pattern should be fine. centerbore should be fine too, but offset might be the kicker."

The bolt pattern should be 120x5 and the centerbore - 72.6 mm.

These are not original M3 wheels - just replicas...
They are 16" and probably all the four wheels are identical although one of the tires is wider. They have no "M" badge also. And because these wheels are replicas - the offset can be various.
You have to ask about the offset and check the width - the "J" number.

The original M3 wheels are 17 inch - the front are 7.5J, the rear are 8.5J and the offset is around 46 (as I remember the offset is not equal for the front and rear, but this is not important in this case - they will not fit BMW e12.

Depending on the width of the rims - if the wheels in the link are something around 7J - normal for 205 tire - and the offset is around 20 - you can use them without a problem.

Just check the width and the offset and post the data here - then we can discuss it further.

Since they're 16s (real ones were 17s), ask the seller what model they were on. They made replicas of those in an ET20 offset.
