BMW wheels adapter to 996 C2?

I have a set of HRE 19" wheels from my 99 540i. I think the bolt pattern is 5x112 and I know my 99 C2 has a bolt pattern of 5x130. Is there an adaptor which I can install in order to use my BMW wheels?

Thanks

Man, unless it is a 1/ 1 million miracle, they will not fit completely right. The widths of front and rears wheels will probably be off, the offsets will probably be off, the heights and widht of the tires will probably be off, the spacer are going to throw your alignment way off...

I think you would be better off selling and re-purchasing them in porsche specs. I have been wrong though, someone will chime in.

jwully is infamous around these parts
BMW's are a 5X120 bolt pattern. You would be better off selling the BMW wheels and buying HRE's to Porsche spec.
