Those are replica wheels, not oe...not suggesting they are not 'quality', but they are 'reps'.

As tmv noted, several posters here have had good luck with hub centric rings, as E70 wheels have a bore hole of 74 mm vs the 72.5 bore hole diameter you currently have on your oe Style 87s. Also, the wheel bolts may differ slightly, as oe E70 wheels call for M14 x 1.25 thread vs M14 x 1.5, but other posters may have a workaround for that...

I am a fan of 214s, esp in OE configuration, but your oe 87s may be the finest looking wheel BMW ever put on any X, imo.
