So am I getting TMS or H&R 10mm/20mm spacers? It says hubcentric on turnermotorsport.com - does it matter if I have replica rims - they were X5 specific and didn't need hubcentric rings? I will get the longer bolts but what about the BMW wheel locks I already have - they still going to fit? Can I bring it to your guy in Plainview for the install or someone else?

H&R from Turner. Since your wheels are replica's, my only concern would the be the offsets. If they were OEM, I would tell you that 15 in the front and 20 in the rear is perfect. However, replica's tend to have a different offset than OEM. Can you tell me where you got them? Do you have a link? I can run the calculations on the Wheel Offset Calculator and tell you the ideal width for front and rear. You're fine regarding hubcentric.
You will need longer bolts. I'll tell you exactly which ones, based on which widths you go with. As for wheel locks, you'll need new ones. A few companies sell the extended wheel bolt locks. Just Google it. However, hold off until we know exact lengths, based on offsets of your replica's.
