What 4lug wheels can I use?

I'm trying to figure out what kind/size of wheels I can use on my 924, it has four lugs.

The 924 is a '4x108' meaning it has 4 lugs ( duh ) and the lugs measure 108mm
diagonally across from center to center. However, if you have many Audi
4000 quattros or VW Quantums around ( must be AWD hence Quattro/Quantum ) they are 4x108. All other (2WD) VW's and Audis are 4x100. Toyota, Nissan, Honda all pretty much use the 4x4.25" 4x108mm) lug pattern as the 924.

Comments
I've owned several 924 Porsches and I've never liked the factory wheels. The bolt pattern is a common one: 4 x 4.25 but the offset is almost impossible to find with this bolt pattern. The solution is to use 1/4 or 3/8 inch spacers with the front wheels, so the rim will clear the strut and the disc brake caliper. Also you have to purchase studs for each wheel and secure them with Loctite when installing. Any tire store will sell you spacers and studs to make the rims fit. Don't forget to have the rims retorqued after a few days of driving.
