center bore is 74.1, theyre made for the E60
The center bore for E60s = 72.6mm which means hubcentric rings are required. Others please feel free to chime in.

You're probably talking about E39.

Am I the only one confused about OEM wheel company vs. replica wheels? If it is an OEM Wheel company, then they make the wheels to BMW spec for - among others, possibly - BMW. If the wheels are reps, they cannot be OEM. Or am I just crazy? Or both? 
The price is excellent though. If these wheels are quality, they are a VERY VERY good deal.

can I intrest you in a set of 360forged or HRE's... Breyton is nothing but an overpriced cast wheel, just like OEM wheels and replicas.
anyway, everyone has their own tastes, so many people run replica wheels without any problems... these guys offer a great warranty, in case anything does go wrong
