Default Need everybody's opinion on wheel adapters

hey guys im in so much love with these rims, their called breyton race gts rims in a matte Grey color (ill show pics at the end). The only problem is that they are in a 5x120, i have found a company that can create wheel adapters to retro fit these rims and the thinnest they can do is 19mm ( so its like a space and everything lol). Do you guys think i should go for it or will it be too risky (IS 250). Thanks alot guys and here is some pics of what it would look like on my car.

I wouldn't do it but here's a wheel that looks really similar to it that our vendors are selling.

lol i talked to that guy already and i am waiting to put a deposit on those wheels, but i wanted to see everybody's opinion on these ones. The only bad part about the linea rims is that i have to powdercoat them or paint them gunmetal too lol. These breyton rims have a more sharp edge concave look that i like.

I would avoid adapters & spacers at all cost, especially anything over 10mm or so...

Way too much trouble.What if you end up with vibrations? You would have spent all that time and money and be stuck with rims not meant for your car.
