      Won't fit. You would need 20mm spacers that adapt from 4x114.3 to 4x100. That way they would be 4x100 ET20-ish. Otherwise, no go. They may also not be E30 hubcentric (57.1).

        even if they were 4x100 you'd need serious spacers which would set you back a couple bills with studs. that sounds like a honda offset to me.

            Say, why are spacers so expensive in the US? I had four 12mm spacers custom machined and balanced, AND they include slightly larger hub ring indents to make my wheel hubcentric, in ADDITION to 16 long bolts, all for $40. (And the bolts were not the cheap chromy ones)

              Why so cheap?

              All it takes is a lathe. You can get the material as plate or large rod. You can pick up a used older lathe for less than $1000 in the states. A lot are still around from WWII. Cost is primarily labor.
              We have a lathe, boring mill, bandsaw, and large drill press in our shop and all of those items were less than $400 a piece. They're older, from the early 1940's, but still do the job.
              Answer: labor, labor, labor.
