I need to know if I can have a hubcentric peice that converts the wheels' 5x120 bolt pattern to a 5x112 pattern. If not, is there anyway that I can have the wheels redrilled, and such to accomodate the 5x112 pattern?

There are adapters (not hubcentric, that is to adapt the center bore of the wheels, different thing). Basicly you bolt the adapter to your hubs and the wheels bolt to the adapters. Makes it difficult to find wheels with the appropriate offset but not impossible. Also adds ~5lbs per corner so usually not worth it. Not likely that you'll be able to redrill.

adding 5lbs per corner would be the lest of your problem, you also need to consider that the adapter will take off 25mm off your offset. BMW wheels are traditionaly very low offset. So, say you buy a set of Breytons 8.5 with 20mm et plus the 25mm adapter, you would have a wheel thats 8.5" wide and has an offset of -5. That gonna stick out like a biatch.

My 2 cents:
Best method may to be the ol' "fill and redrill" method if you are dead set on the bimmer bolt pattern. Those of you who visit the Tex as well have certainly seen Salty's old wagon where this was accomplished quite nicely. I think Dereik said he had them filled and drilled for about $150/rim..........OUCH!!
