First, you need to determine if your new rims use spherical seat bolts
(like the VW) or conical seat bolts (most aftermarket wheels) BMWs and
some Mazda's (I know the early RX7s) use conical seat bolts with the
correct thread.  You can also buy new ones at this site, in your choice of
lenghts with either style seat, but they are kind of spendy.
