I didn't check the Accessories Catalog but the parts system does show a Style 124 application for the 530xiT, they are 8Jx18 ET:43, p/n 36 11 6 767 541. Note that these are not four fronts off a 545i/550i, the offset is different.

Check some of my earlier posts for the actual offsets for both types.
I would urge owners to use wheels with the proper offset. Unfortunately, this limits options for those of us driving 530xi's. Although - wheels for the E46/E90 models are very close to the same offset.
