E53 or E65 wheels on an E70

I am interested in getting a few different wheels on my E70, but, based on my research, they will not fit. The wheels I'm considering are:

1. Style 128's from the 7-series. To my understanding the hub bore and offsets are different, but what is the size of the hub on those from the E65 7-series? I know there are style 128'5 for the4 E70, but, I've found some replicas for the E65 for a ridiculous price. (See: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...TQ:MOTORS:1123 )

2. Style 87's from the E53. Same problem.

Can anyone help me with information on the hub sizes, as well as how I can get either to fit my E70? I've heard of hubcentric rings, but, not extremely familiar with them, nor know how I should be searching for them. Better yet, I don't even know if I can still get these wheels to work with the hubcentric rings

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

E53 hub size is 72.56 and the E70 hub size is 74.1

Thus, the E70 rims can be mounted on the E53 (recommended to use hub centric rings to avoid any vibrations), but the E53 rims cannot be mounted on the E70 (unless you were to bore out the hub to 74.1)
