Bolt pattern swap

Bolt pattern swap
I was hoping someone here has had experience with bolt pattern swapping. I am eyeing a set of rims made by XXR (507 in red). The problem is that they only make it in a bolt pattern of 5x114.3 when, of course, my Monte has a bolt pattern of 5x115. I have heard and read in different places that they will work with hub centric rings. However, I have been informed that this may cause rattling and shaking and I don't want to take the chance. Can't I just buy new hubs with the appropriate bolt pattern of 5x114.3? If so, where can I find them and about how much will they set me back? I have accepted the fact that if I don't find other rims with my current bolt pattern that I like, I will just pay the extra cash to have the hubs swapped out to accommodatetheXXR 507's.
I just can't seem to find a better looking chrome lipped,black/red center,5 spoke rim anywhere.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

RE: Bolt pattern swap
Don't waste your money switching hubs, just get the wheels. I have sold wheels for 15 years & we do the 5x4.5's all day on the 5x115's with no problems ever. I hear the "is it safe & ok" bs all the time & it's sickening, just do it & hub rings are not a "have to have" unless you have a Benz or BMW.
