   Do they not just change the hubs to astra/vectra 5stud ones?

   MMMmmmmm... good point. I've started looking into it now and you can have a special adapter custom made for you at a cost.
   
   Its like a spacer but uses two sets of bolts. one set bolts it onto the hub leaving you with a hub that has 5 stud holes in it, but it adds on average 10mm to the hub which brings the lip out further. so all I need now is find out if I can get hold of these adapters and if they would work with that bmw set of wheels(offset wise).

   Seeing how theyre boggo e46 wheels, i cant see you fitting these to your car.
   
   However it is out of two choices which are
   
   Fitting custom five stud hubs
   Fitting those conversion spacers.

    you need custom adaptors mate. not sure where from though? it has been done before, someone had porsche wheels on a 106 gti. however i dont see the point in spending that much money on spacers then fitting wheels as wank as them ^
    
    you might aswell fit 205 rims, they look similar and are straight fit.
    if your doing it, you mayaswell fit half decent looking wheels like what the vw boys do
