If they're steel, you could have them re-centered with 8 lug centers, but I doubt that would be cost effective unless they're beadlocks or something.
Yes, sell them and buy 8 lug wheels
Seriously though you can typically buy a cheap set of steel 8 lug rims for cheaper than what it would cost to convert axles from 8-lug to 6-lug. If a 10-bolt or D44 front it's pretty easy to bolt on factory 6-lug hubs and then you just need afterrmarket 6-lug hubs for the back (assuming a 14FF).
Aftermarket 14FF rear hubs or D60 front hubs with a 6-lug pattern are around $400 per pair, so $800-$900 to convert both axles if that is what you are going with.

Sorry, but you can't just drill a new pattern in the wheel.

Wheel adapters from 8 to 6 lug do exist, I cannot state whether they are worth a crap, but they exist.

ur best bet is to get new rims because im assuming that ur rims in 6 lug would be less money than buying 4 adapters, unless u have some...22s!!...DEUCE DEUCE!!
or something like that. no other way around it with alloys
