Just a thought - maybe I'm missing something obvious - but would BMW E46 wheels like these on ebay fit the 75?

Is there a simple way of determining whether wheels fit the car?

hope this helps..
I've sourced a set of 4, brand new from Roverbreakers. Picking them up next week

Can you tell me what size centre caps they require?

Also, I'd like some new bolts, probably chromed. Any recommendations?
