Well after calling machine shops around here and wheel repair, no one will touch it either bacuse it is a safety concern or they won't be able to get it lined up perfect, so f that! I'll keep looking around though, but probably end up selling them, although I really don't want to, but this is too much damn hassle.

Of course that's craigslist here.Craigslist sucks everywhere. No matter what you post you get 9 out of 10 people emailing you saying "Hey do you still have it?" And you respond back "Yea I do, are you interested?" And you get no reply back. Pisses me the f**k off. End rant.
Wheel adapters are pretty common and an easy solution to changing wheels with a different pattern. Go for it, just ensure you get one that inst wider than what you want. however you can offset that somewhat with a different offset wheel to maintain the "inside" the fender appearance.
I myself have to do this with my 1978 Civic since it uses 4x120mm.

They will not cause any problems for your suspension.
i know VW guys in my area that have been running adapters off and on for years now without problems... and they are dumped.
the only problem i would be worried about in your case would be the with of the adapters making the wheel stick out too far.

well, if you really like the wheels i say do it... especially since they dont make them anymore!
Anybody know by experience good brands, besides www.WheelAdapter.com.
I've heard many good things about them, but at 280, it's pretty pricey.

Example of how craigslist sucks.
Got a call from a guy say he's very interested in the wheels.
Calls me in the afternoon, to ask more questions if I could go lower, I make a deal with him.
Then calls me that night to see what the offset was, and he can't come by today or tomorrow.
But, he would call me the next day to figure out a time to meet, since he really wants them.
Now not a word for the past 3 days.
W T F !!!
Also selling a 16mm fisheye lens.
Very interested, what is your bottom dollar, love getting this.
Work out a deal to his lowest.
Now heard nothing for a couple of days.
