Well first off the bolt pattern is not for our cars. we have 5x120.65 not 5x120. The rears would fit no problem but the fronts would probably be sticking out past the fender line.
it is not recommended to run 5x120 on our cars. You could get serious speed vibration from not being centric on the hub. just some info. I'd look into finding some wheels you like that come in a 5x120.65 or 5x4.75 bolt pattern.

There are C5 speedlines, C6Z, C6 ZR1, C7Z reps that all come in black and are multispoke, those are top of my head let me do a little search and see what i can find. Or are you looking for more of a mesh look like the ESR wheel?

TSW Interlagos 18x9 $288/wheel
TWS Nurburgring 18x9 $288/wheel
Cray Manta 18x9 $280/wheel
Those are over budget as is and that's really all there is until you spend $1400 or more on a set. which gives you some great choices.

would these do the trick as far as fitment??
offset is 50
Edit: bought them... I kept seeing these go for much more at other places so I took a chance.

Yokohama S. Drives
Dunlop Direzza DZ102
BFG Sport comp 2
Kuhmo Ecsta PS91
KUhmo Ecsta PS31
All decent tires
if you want to get some extreme summers
Nitto NT05
Nitto NT01
Falken Azenis RT615K
Toyo Proxes R888
Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R
Dunlop Direzza Starspec 2
BFG Rival S
These are probably the most commonly purchased tires, though not everything is budget friendly. Do some research and read reviews for what you think will suit you best.
I'd go Yokohama S Drives or Sport Comp 2s just my personal choice though for a nice balance of treadwear and grip

for the record, you can absolutely run 5x120 (BMW) lug pattern on these cars, it is within the factory tolerances. lots of guys run them without issues

got the wheels in yesterday and now gotta get tires for them..
using that calculator they will almost be the exact same dimensions as my current SS ten spokes with 40 series rubber...
