Got some 97 BMW rims....will they bolt up?

This is for STORAGE issues. I have my old set of BMW rims off a 97 3 series. They still have tires on them and wonder if the bolt pattern will work to keep the car in storage. Will be taking the 20" rims and tires off during storage. Right now just looking at what I have.....4 3 series rims and tires. Just want something to put the car on for a few years and not be worried about it. Wonder if some cheap Sentra rims will fit as well.....from a junk yard. Thanks all.

And no....these are not for looks....just function in storage. Got a set of my old stock 97 BMW rims. I could care less if they get flat spots or rim damage. Removing my 20" and putting something on. Not likeing the jack stand thing.

Damn...looks like 5x120 instead of 5x114....

Will some old steel Sentra rims work?

I need something cheap for the winter because of my tires...so far I think my cheapest option is to get 5th gen maxima 17" rims and tires off ebay...unfortunately 17 is as low as you can go. I posted a while ago about steel wheels...and nobody was able to help me find 17" steel rims for snow tires....
