Help find these rims

I'm in love with these mazdaspeed rims but... can't find them exactly how I want them, so hopefully someone here has already found them.

I want these:

But in 4x110, 16" & 17"

Help?

about the only way you are gonna get em on a 4x110 bolt pattern is to change your bolt pattern lol. 4x110 is a VERY uncommon bolt pattern and very few manufacturers make it. You can look at getting adapters or upgrading to fc hubs which will give you 4x113 (i believe)

Well, they don't have to be exactly the mazdaspeed rims, I didn't really know how to describe them with just 5 spoke. I was looking for that particular style, thick 5 spoke in either black or gold/bronze.

Or is there an available adapter piece that would convert my 4x110 to the 4x114.3(GSL-SE)?

sorry double post again

i would hazard an educated guess that an adapter is unavailable otherwise there would be a ton of people with first gens and a different array of wheels.

it seems the most common reply to "I would like different wheels" is do the fc big brake/hub conversion and options will open up

Don't hope on getting those wheels anytime soon if they're the real Mazdaspeeds, from what I've heard those are close to unobtainable.

they are pretty obtainable used but will set you back a few dimes. also i have never seen any that werent 5x114..

as far as 4x110 to 4x114 wheel spacers.. is there a big demand? i just so happen to have a mill and lathe to my disposal. just need to find a good priced alum stock.

The Konig are nice, but if I were to use that style I'd go with Panasports. But Panasports don't come in 16" and 17" with 4x110.

Or I was thinking of the BBS rims that look similar to the Mazdaspeed but couldn't find any. Can I just call a store that sells the rims and ask them to make the bolt pattern to my liking or can I not do that?

Is this the excaliber adapter thing that you were talking about? From the website, it seems like you can make your car have any type of bolt pattern.

I believe Panasport sells Blanks that can be drilled to any pattern you need. You could call them and ask if they could drill some as they use to make the 4x110 pattern so they may still have the ability.
