Redrilling new PCD on wheels

My Alfa Romeo has a typically Italian bolt pattern (5x98) which might be fine for Europe, where other cars might share this pattern. Of course, in the US it's pretty much just Ferrari and Maserati, so takeoffs from those are too big and would cost more than my car.
I am looking to have some more available wheels redrilled for my pattern. Any recommendations here?
For instance I would love to use a set of DSIIs if I could bolt them on.
What are my options here? Slot the mounting holes? Drill new holes between the stock locations?
Anyone have any experience or ability here?
Thanks!

They sell wheel bolt adapters. I definitely wouldn't track the car with adapters on, but maybe someone else on here can provide some feedback on daily driveability with lug adapters. They aren't very expensive and pretty easy to come by.

Yes they do make wheel adapters. I only have a little bit of offset to work with for wheels that will fit under the car.
