1st-gen bolt patterns in Europe

Hey guys,
upfront I'm sorry if this has already been discussed but I couldn't find anything about it.

Since the car is running now and has a valid title, I'm looking into my first modifications. Wheels came to my mind as one of the first things but I came to the conclusion that the market for the 4x110 pattern even more sparse than in the US (as in non-existent or expensive special order)
I know about the practice of swapping in a GSL-SE rear end, but as far as I know, we never got the GSL-SE over here. Someone recommended me to use wobbly bolts, so that I could run 4x108 rims, but they seem sketchy to me.
Can somebody recommend a way to change the bolt pattern to something different (possibly without wheel spacers) over here in Europe?

The car is a '83 S2 FB Euro-spec.
(Again I'm new to rotaries and modifying cars)

Are you sure you can't get wheels like the Konig Rewind 15x7 20mm offset 4x110mm? They are realitivly cheap here in the US below $500 US for a set of four. Don't do the wobble bolts.

Best thing to do is just get 4x110 rims. Enkei, Panasport, Rota, Lots of styles to fit your car. I like 15" x 7", 4x110, 20ET/offset. GSL-SE swap is the most expensive and difficult way to change rims! I don't know what wobble bolts are but they sound terrible.
