Any vingage BMW guys here? vintage wheel question

I know there are some, I saw some wheels on a car -around say a 75-77, alloys, They were so cool looking, I didn't snap a pic of them-
-ever since I got this new digi uploading photos here dosent work for some reason.
The wheels kind of looked like some vintage late 50's -60's style halbrands but sorta with a globe /hemispherical look with longitudinal and latitudinal lines to them-couldn't tell if they were aftermarket. Bing images does not bring up any pics or luck figuring out what they are. Im told that 92 and earlier fit the gm 5 lug 4 3/4 boltpattern . They looked different enough ~~~ FAST~~~ that they would look in place on the M1

This 2.5 CS sports the factory optional alloy rims and a excellent shifting automatic gearbox.

As far as BMW guys....
I just ran into one a little west of Balt, MD ( I bought an OLD air compressor off him.)
He specializes in the model 2002, but he has a few others--lots of parts and sheet metal, I saw one kugel fischer injection unit.

he also has a 123TD, a 123 CD and a 123 sedan parts car---wants $5000 for the lot. Seems a bit high to me, but what do i know.
PM for contact if interested.
He also struck me as a fair kind of guy.

I doubt they fit.

I was reading ---traditional hotrod guys who use jaguar front suspension and rear have a hard time getting custom wheels, and the five lug bmw from -whatever 92 or 02 fit. the jaguar is the same as GM 5 x 4-3/4 so they could be made to but these wheels are most likely 14" and this my friend --is not a Go Deal.........
having tried to find 14' ers lately even if I wanted to run them.
