Just sell those wheels and buy a set with the correct bolt pattern. You can not use 4x100 wheels on a 5x114.3 hub unless you want to be ghetto and drill new holes, which is totally unsafe.

Switching the wheels to 5 lug is out of the question, but how about switching the car to 4 lug? I would not do it, but it might be possible.

They actually do sell adapters that swap 5x120 to 5x114.3, BMW Autox guys have been known to use them to rock RPF1s on their bimmers. Not sure if 4x100 to 5x114.3 adapters or visa versa exist. I do know they run about $300 per the set, so even with unrealistic options, it is still cheaper to simply sell them, and buy the right wheels that bolt up for your application.
