Default BMW Wheels

I'm looking at swapping the wheels out for winter and I've found a few affordable BMW options on CL. Was hoping I could get some feedback as to wether or not they'll fit our cars. I imagine they'd need a 30mm spacer on the fronts for a center cap to fit, and obviously they'd use wobble lugs.

17" Contour wheels
these remind me a lot of Starfish which is why I'm leaning towards them

I like the spoke wheels, I have them on my BMW but I don't think that the bolt pattern will fit on a Jaguar.

The 120mm bolt pattern will work with wobble bolts

What about the center hole? Jag hubs are bigger than most. I think the center hole needs to be 2.875".

One time I had some alloys bored out at a machine shop to fit the Jag hubs

I've seen asteroids used on a BMW 3 series, E36 I think.

I don't know what they did with the hub bore.
