Default Wheel Adaptors

Hi, does anybody know where I can get some hub centric adaptors in the UK, nearly all websites I find are USA based. I'm looking to fit some VW wheels (5 stud) to my Vectra (5 stud). both the hubs and bolt patterns are different.
Any help gratefully received,
Cheers
Phill

do you know what the PCD is for the vectra ?
what VW wheels are you looking at ? most 5 stud are 100 * 5 on older ones or 112 * 5 on the newer ones

To be honest it will be more trouble that it is worth trying to adapt the car to fit the wheels. Its probably easier to replace the hubs than adapt them.
