Personally. I'd rather have a 4 bolt pattern found on your LS, than the 5x110 found on my 2.4, you have so many more wheel options than the SS/SC and the SS/2.4.

Your bolt pattern is found on pretty much every small car, so more companies support it.

Aside from that, it would be probably fairly expensive and require a fair amount of work to do what you wish. It would probably be much cheaper to find a wheelshop that makes custom wheels and get a set of SS clone wheels that fit your bolt pattern.

Not at all worth it. As stated above, you would have to replace your brakes. And probably your knuckles too. The sheer cost involved would be just nuts. And the 4x100 pattern you currently have is so widely supported, just get a set of 18" wheels with that pattern.

Not worth it at all. Especially when there are soooo many after market wheel options out there that you should be able to find nearly identical wheels for the 4x100 bolt pattern if that's the look you're really after.
