you are right on the bolt pattern --our cars call for a 120.65mm & the TSW wheels are 120.00mm .I have spoken to so many manufactures, dealers, etc, & the 120 bolt up fine as long as the wheel stud holes- bore is 14--15mm-this allows lugs to be tightened up in the criss-cross pattern evenly with basically next to no stress on the outer area of the studs & not causing an inward pressure upon torqueing the lugs down, There are 1000"s of fbody owners running the 120 mm pattern with no real issues. One should always check the lug torque of custom wheels every 500--1000 miles regular anyways, If you have a high torque //hp Race car---then by all means use the 120.65mm pattern for safety reasons .

I was looking at those too, but was worried about the bolt pattern. I ended up going with the Jarama's after talking with a reputable shop here in town that assured me they would be ok. I have only had them on for a few days, but everything seems to be going well. The reason I decided against the indy 500's were that it seemed too plain around the edges when I looked at them in person.
