i got these rims for real cheap off my buddy, enkei etoria's, not sure what style, 17inch.

but the two patterns wont fit on my 99GA
i really love these rims and tires and want them on my car, they fit the 5x100 older grand ams but not my 5x115

is there any way i can change my bolt pattern so i can keep these rims instead of having to sell them?

like an adapter? or taking the bolt plate from an older grand am and doing a swap?

im not much of a car person so any help would be excellent

~thanks

are they dangerous? the idea seems a little shady, but some big name companies make them. no one i have talked to has ever used them.

yea, adapters work great, and if installed properly are not dangerous... the only thing is they will move your wheel out like 1/8" so you may need to compensate for that with the wheel or it may stick out the side of the car and look like shit
