Ditto TriX5. I used my old e53’s Style 87 wheels as a winter set-up for my f15 X5. The e53 has a 72.56mm hub and the f15 has a 74.1mm hub.
I used either 12mm or 15mm
hubcentric spacers that went from 74.1mm to 72.56mm…along with extended wheel bolts (added the width of the spacer to the existing lug bolt length).
So no need to waste all the money you spent…you can still use them with spending a few more dollars for spacers and extended bolts.
Here’s some images with the Style 87 wheels mounted on my f15:
