5x120mm five lug idea...

There's nothing wrong with 5x114.3 conversion but here's an idea I had... 5 lug BMW's are 5x120mm and they come with NICE BBS wheels with offsets around +20 for 5 series, 40's for 3 series. Many times these cars come with 15 or 16" wheels which are sold for dirt cheap in the BMW community when going plus size.
Newer Hondas such as Odyssey, Pilot & Ridgeline have 5x120mm bolt patterns. How cool would it be to fit those hubs onto a civic and be able to use some of these OEM BMW wheels 8)
I doubt the hubs are a direct fit though :?

See what I mean about dirt cheap:
Image
like bottle caps but 15x7" these were $200 w/ tires

15" x 7" OEM BMW Style 6(15 Slot) alloys. 47 mm offset. Fit most E36-3 Series. THese were $150 no tires

Image
BBS 16x8" +23mm "style 5's" 300 obo

Image
e46 16x7 +46mm 328i wheels, saw a set of these for $200 w/ tires!

Image
15" +20mm 5 series wheel, $235 for a set of 4!

Image
15x7.0 +20mm 5 series wheels, $195 buy it now on ebay!

It kills me to see nice wheels so cheap and not be able to buy them for my car :D
The other option is to get them re-drilled which is not cheap, or get custom adapters which are also not cheap and would have to be like 2" thick, pushing the wheel out of your fender.
