    The PCD is definitely the 120.
    I agree about finding some others too, I doubt you'll get these ones to fit the 108 PCD.

    Smallvan,
    Are you measuring PCD (pitch circle dia. ie to centre of holes) & NOT to outer edge of holes (pcd 108 + 2xhole radius = 120 approx.)
    The measurements are wrong because if pcd is 120, then distance between adjacent hole centres is 85mm approx, not 98

    As susggested before to save the headaches and potential ilegality and safety issues just sell em on eBay and get another set that will fit.

    These jelly bean mags come up quite often.

    Definitely look to be 4x120mm. Odd-ball size - I think some early Mazdas used it (121/RX5). Not sure I'd bother trying to make them fit. I'd just give them a polish and stick them up for sale on a rotary forum.
