Do you think R* should make a Wii version of GTAIV?

GTA will never go on the Wii; it goes against one of its selling points (Children friendly gaming). GTA is everything that is an over protiective mother's worst nightmare: Violence, Sex, Drugs and Crime. Even if they wanted to water down the game for a Wii version Nintendo would have a hard decision on their hands.

Yeah, that's why No More Heroes wasn't released on the Wii, why Nintendo didn't show Red Steel during E3 06, why Godfather Wii Edition wasn't allowed to have a control feature where you'd choke someone by literally micking that action with the Wiimote and nunchuck, and probably why they aren't making Disaster: Day of Crisis. Those violent, non children friendly games are definitely not what Nintendo wants. Oh wait.

But to expand on what I said, it's more that GTA4 wasn't made for the Wii, so porting it wouldn't work. They need to design the game to cater to what the Wii does best, and that's it's controls. Godfather Wii almost seemed to be made for Wii controls. GTA4 may not have these types of game elements that would work so well on the Wii, for instance, choking someone buy shaking the controllers in front of you like you were literally strangling someone. I would say if they were to make a GTA game, they should make a semi-spin off type of game. Since the stories of the series aren't completely tied together (though some characters appear in later games), you could do a side story pretty easily.

Simply porting GTA4 to the Wii? No.

Building a GTA game from the ground up for the Wii, to utilitize the controls to their max, yes. That would work.

I second that.
