What wheels are you looking for that can't be had in 4 lug?
Just about any company that makes wheels makes them in 4 and 5 lug configurations, unless you are looking at 18" wheels, in which case, most of them are 5 lug.
The conversion between 4 lug and 5 lug would require replacing just about the entire outboard assembly. Hub, rotor, caliper, etc..etc..etc.. It wouldn't be cheap. I would guess about $2000 for the conversion using OEM hyundai parts sourced through Shark Racing.
P.S. If they would even FIT!

For what you would spend on a 4-5 lug conversion, then what you would spend on heavy Azz OEM wheels, you'd be better off to go for decent performance Rims in 4 lug.
