Why's that?
Minilites in 4x100 are rare and far more expensive than in classic ford fitment (4x108)
Even classic mini fitment (4x101.1259451222145212541257845556240145) are usually more expensive than 4x108 versions.
thats what ive found whilst hunting a nice set in 4x100 anyway

Changing the bolt pattern with all the work can come more expensive than 3x108 minilites.

No cut them in half and weld back together wider than before.

Yes, that's known as "banding" to me.

Live & learn. Banding was associated with latex and such before this...
