Wheel Help

I'm new, and I haven't been able to find any info so I was wondering if someone could tell me. We bought an ES (but wanted an OZ) I found a set of the OZ wheels on EBAY and got them. They are very nice, but as I'm sure you all know (and I did not) they didn't fit. So, how do I get them to fit. The dealer made it sound like tons of money, so I just wanted to know. Thanks,

it would be a good bit of money, the bolt patterns of the ES are different from the LS and OZ, you would be better off just trying to re-sell them on ebay or see if a member here would want to take them off your hands

Redrilling the wheels to fit the 4 x 100 bolt pattern is gonna be a whole lot more trouble and money than it's worth. You ought to just return them if at all possible, or sell em back. I don't mean to knock on you, but this is where the forum helps out the most: catching mistakes before they're made.

There are a ton more wheel options for an ES over the LS/OZ style bolt pattern. Crossdrilling scares me becaus you're weakening a rather crucial part of the wheel that probably sees the most stress and replacing hubs is just not practical for cost.
