Oh hell yes, I think I found what I want...my only question is, what will this offset look like?

A friend suggested these. The BMW logo is optional...but they make them in 4 X 100 and I could just have the center section powder coated...
Whatchu think?

Your problem still remains of having a 4x110mm bolt pattern. Unless you want to do a little modification to some universal wheel patterns, there are only 2 wheels that are direct bolt-on 4x110mm bolt patterns that I know of. Both are 15s with correct offset and The Tire Rack has both of them. I have the 5 spoke style on my car, or there is a "tuner" style. The only way around this is CP Racings adapters, that someone already mentioned, or enlarging one the bolt holes on a universal pattern, which, in my opinion, weakens the structural integrity of the wheel. I use my car mainly for drag racing, so I wanted no loss of wheel strength. I could be wrong about the "only 2 wheels out there" thing, but I haven't looked in a while since I am satisfied with my 5 spokes.

I'll probably end up doing the conversion, we'll see...
