there are many 4 lug 17" wheels out there. the change is a ridiculous process that even the biggest modifiers (skittle) wont attempt.

yes and many companies, if contacted nicely, may be able to make you a 4-lug version even if it's not advertised

ya but it will cost you more to do the conversion then it would be to buy new rims. So you would not save any money.

and then there is the offset to be concerned with, the adaptor plates would widen the track way to much, causing a mulitude of additional problems, all very expensive to deal with......

bummer, huh?
