Hey Jerry-
The full part number is 36 11 1 182 217.  List price as of 10/97 was $743.88
each.  They are a two piece 17x8 wheel with a 20 mm offset that came on the E34
540i as an option.  Should fit your M5 and will definitely be hubcentric.  I
can fax you a page with the pictures and relevant parts with part numbers if
you need it.  Good luck.
