They're predrilled to 5x114... (more)
The way it was explained to me, the holes get filled, and then the wheel is redrilled to 5x112.
The guys that I'm buying the wheels from say that they won't redrill other bolt patterns readily, because of the significance in change of bolt pattern; however, 5x114 - > 5x112 is a small enough change such that after they fill the hole and redrill, the change in the wheel structure is minimal.
Anyway, he could've been feeding me a load of bull, but I like the wheels so much that as long as it's safe, they're going on my car. 8^)
