TJ,
Are you waiting for an adapter for a different bolt pattern or just a simple spacer?
I needed a set of spacers to fit some Audi rims to out Vanagon.
I took an Audi rim to a local machine shop and asked them to make a spacer 13mm thick and match the shape of the  mating surface on the back of the rim.  It took less than a week for them to make them up and they charged about $100 for all 4.
They did great work and the spacers have given no problems.
Buy locally if you can.
