What are you guys doing to get these to fit?

I just found some BMW E60 M5 wheels for sale pretty cheap.......I think they would look pretty sweet.....

19mm adapters are the smallest they make, so make sure you consider that.

Redrill them if you must have them. I will tell you try are not lightweight at all and have fairly aggressive factory offsets. +20 range. After the cost of adapters and tires you will realize that you should have just brought something that fits properly. If you are on a budget you should look at XXR, ROTA, AXIS, and maybe even Varrstoen.

I would fully agree with you a year or so ago. But this ship has sailed, everyone on every forum has done these wheels #'s and #'s of times and color combos etc. I know because I too have ran them on BMW e39's, E60, and even my former 350z. The wheels you speak of are BMW style 95's. The OP wants E60 m5 wheels or M sport wheels.
