Is the money you SPEND doing the bolt pattern swap going to be worth the money you will SAVE on the price of 5x114 wheels?
First, I think your pattern swap will cost more than $200. Second, most wheel/tire combo's are more than a grand - are they not? When I bought my 15's for my civic they were $1100...when I upgraded to 17's they were about the same...
It just doesn't seem like it's worth the effort for the money you'll save, if you do.

thats a pretty good question
and the answer is YES!
I want to do it because Im particular when it comes to my rims.
I can probably find 18s (5x114, rims/tires) THAT I LIKE for
under $800
I can never find 18s (5x139) THAT I LIKE for less than $1400
plus 5x139 rims are generally HEAVY
btw... I just picked up 17" Rims/Tires (5x114) for $200
which Ill probably pass on to one of my friends.
they look like this

So you never know WHAT one can find if one is willing to be patient.
