go to 5 stud and you'll find 16in 5x120 bbs rs splits for reasonable money.
ok, they'll still be expensive, but not as silly expensive as 16in 4x100 splits which every 4 stud vw owner in the world will be after

for enough money, anything is possible. going from 5 -> 4 is usually tricky as it means a shared hole, so you'd probably have to get the existing holes plugged or welded, then new ones drilled.
depends on the shape of the back of the wheel too.
you might be better off looking for porsche fitment ones as they'll be 5x130mm but usually with a very high offset. 4x100 -> 5x130 adapters are easy to get hold of, and due to the high offset of most porsche wheels the adapter brings them up to roughly the right offset. going this way though means you won't get much of a dish
