Is using a wheel adapter the same as using a spacer? I am looking at just buying the gallardo style wheels which have a different bolt pattern than the murcie's so I have a 120 bolt pattern on my hubs, what do I need to do? Buy new hubs?

Spacers are not the same as adapters.  Spacers are just that....they create the needed space between the wheel and the hub using the same bolt pattern as your existing hub. 

Adapters also create added space between the existing hub and wheel but they also convert your existing bolt pattern to a desired bolt pattern that you want so you can get those cool wheels you've been dreaming about.  Also adapters can convert 4 lug to 5 lug.

Yea man the wheels are cheap and I don't think they look too much different than the Hercules. I want the flat black ones then I'm going to send the rears to get widened.
Looks like adapters costs some money too huh, that's $370 ::help
It figures that the ones we need cost more...
