The wide 5 weights appear representative. So wheel width makes a large difference. Center Line used to advertise that they make wheels in sizes from 10 to 30", so 19x4 with 5x100 PCI is prolly available.

The low-ball approach would be used i3 rims on 5x100/112 adapter plates. That gets around hub-centric vs bolt-centric problems and introduces offset problems.

Is the Hybrid Synergy Drive sensitive to over/under on the tire circumference?
