How would they fit? Not the same bolt pattern. 5x130 vs 5x100

Those pattern adapters just seem like a bad idea to me. Have you (or has anyone else) tried using them before? I was thinking about Corvette Grand Sport wheels for the summer on the FRS but would need an adapter for those as well.

I'd replace the caps, of course:

Yeah, 16" Boxster wheels are 16x6 and 16x7 with 40/50mm offset respectively. So adding an adapter wouldn't work anyways, as you would end up with about 20-30offset.

I'm digging this one up because of my love affair for the porsche phone dials. I have a connection to get a cheap set and I am dying to get these on my BRZ. The are the late offset so something like a 47mm. I see some 15mm adapters around and that should put me in the ballpark of fitting the BRZ but I am pretty new to this and would like some advice on how to make this fitment work best. thanks!

What width and diameter? +47mm with a 15mm adapter gives you a final offset of +32 which isn't too bad, but you'll want to make sure the rim will clear the front calipers too. I would bet a lot of money that the 15's have no chance of clearing at all, and the 16's would be iffy.
