First off, what kinda car do you have? There are a few 4-lug options out there. Anything that will fit a Fox Stang with fit a Fox Thundercat.

Places I look for wheel at are:

Just to name a few...

Converting to 5-lug is fairly easy depending on what you have and which way you choose to go.

I have an 88 Bird and I choose to go the 5 lug conversion with these 17x9 Bullitts I picked up for $350. Overall the project for me is getting a bit more expensive for me as I'm adding the 8.8 with locker and disk brakes tires rims bushings etc,etc. all at the same time.. but Just 5 lug is very reasonable.

Like $100 for the front and $100 for the back... then ANY style wheel you want.

I stayed with the 4 lug but put Mustang Turbines on and it looks like a totally different car. Cost was 70 bucks on ebay.
