GTI BBS's on a 5th gen

Situation: I just got offered a killer deal on a set of the VW BBS wheels with tires that come with the GTI. The obvious issue here is that they're 5x100 and I need 5x114.3 for my Maxima. Is there a set of adapters I can buy for them? I've been looking all over and I see tons of 5x100 to 5x114 spacer/adapters but I can't seem to find the opposite. Or is there a way to get them modified at a shop if I can't go the adapter route (which I would prefer to do) I'm getting a killer deal on these so if I have to invest a little bit of money to get this to work this out that's not a problem. Any answers or advice is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: after an EXTENSIVE amount of searching I think I finally found what I need:

Do these look ok? a little on the expensive side, but if it's what I have to do to make it work then I'm fine with spending the money on them.

Those adaptors are definitely what you need and they will work. Any specs on the BBS'?

why go through so much trouble for merely such generic wheels? stay away from cheap ebay stuff, unless you want your wheels to roll past you on the freeway
