do you have rear discs? If so, I can get you 4 lug to 5 lug adapters for, IIRC, $430.

the gsl-se has rear discs, right? Not too up to speed on the FB, but I'm sure it does.

Basically, if you're just looking to use different wheels, then I can get you the adapters.

If you want you can upgrade to the 2nd gen 4pot calipers at the same time Respeed offers a big brake kit but you do have to source some of the parts. Check out this thread it has a lot of good info.

There are lots of wheels out there that fit the GSL-SE's 4X114.3MM pattern.
If your deadset on using one of your existing 5 lug wheels,your gonna have some machine work ahead of you to change the pattern.
Its not excessively difficult,but youll have to look around to find a shop competant and willing to do the job.
Itll consist of....
Filling-redrilling and splining the rear axles.
Redrilling the rear rotors to fit on the axles.
Filling-redrilling and splining the front brake rotors.
20 new press in studs.
