1985-1989 MR2 Wheels on 2001 Corolla

I've been looking here and there at new wheels for the Corolla to replace the stock steelies. I want lighter weight and aerodynamic wheels. I want something that is as flat as possible with as few holes as possible, while still having some style. (I would prefer not to have pizza pans or moons.)

I like the Hyundai offerings, but 2 issues: One is finding them for non-stealership prices. Second is they're Hyundai wheels! I can't put them on my Toyota!





Kia has some nice ones, but they have the same problems as above. They also seem to be a little more 'open' then I would want (and the Hyundai's).



So just tonight, I saw the wheels on an MR2.

One issue. They are 4 bolts. Is there an adapter I can use for my Corolla? Another concern is weight. I wonder if these would actually save me any weight at the corners.
I like these, because they offer some style, without being overly 'open'. The three holes also seem like they would make good mounting points should I want to make a cover of sorts.

Any ideas?
