Wrong, they DO have 4x100 bolt pattern. You just have to do some searching... The wheels run about $1,200-$1,300 shipped for the set. Not including tires of course...

Thanks PortMCS, I wanted something chrome while still fitting the style of my car. My choices were very limited and it was hard ordering them online (TIRERACK) without seeing them in person.
Here is a close up of the wheel which shows how nice they fit the wheel wells. In my spare time I painted the inside of each of the allen head bolts/rivits Chili Red to tie the whole thing together (hard to see in photo).

Ryan, those wheels look great, but are you going to do something with centercap, i.e. a custom logo of some kind

Can you also include size, offset and TIRE size? Those look a bit thin.
