NIce deal! I paid $400 for mine, thought they were new, and came with new tires mounted on them with the stickers still on the tires
Yea, you have to have them bored aprox 1mm. I took my Doughnut from my Fiero with me, along with the Scion rims to the machine shop so they could get an exact measurement to bore them out.

Is it just me, or do others see the mismatch between the spokes and bolt holes when even number spokes are used inconjuction with odd an number bolt patern, IE 6 spokes 5 lugs. Maybe its because I'm a bit of an artest but my eyes go right to that out of balance someone-messed-up-the-design look. Whereas I'm looking for some nice 17" its making my search a lill harder.

Doesn't bug me, but it could be why some wheels (like my Supra's rims) have bolt covers.

I'm like that, too. But oddly enough, I don't mind an odd number of spokes (like 7 or 9) on a 5-lug wheel. And of course, any multiple of 5 will work. Likewise, I don't mind an even number of spokes on a 4-lug wheel.
That said, there are lots of 17" wheels on eBay with the 5x100mm bolt pattern. If you're a fan of 5-spoke / 5-star wheels like I am, then there should be several brands / models that will catch your eye. Here are a couple examples:

i dont even notice the bolts when i look at wheels. but, looking at them on PURPOSE, these rims do look a bit "off"
