I am trying to find a local company that would drill a set of 4x114.3 to 5x114.3. I have seen a few place in cali that do it, so there has to be a place here that does it....hopefully.

Anyone know of a place that would take of the task? Also do you know what something like this would cost?

get a job, then worry about getting getting wheels re drilled.

good luck there is a lot of liability to do that most shops would not want to take the chance.

I would get the wheels with the right lug pattern before having some drilled. it just seems dangerous as shit for some reason

find me some Volk C-Ultras in a 17x8 17x9 with over a +45 offset and I would gladly pass them on to the guy looking for them.

otherwise I will need to get the set we found re-drilled, these wheels are hard enough to come across, let alone in the offset this high.

If they are that rare why would you want to ruin them? It does sound kind of sketchy.

5x100/5x114.3 rims are everywhere, so we just figured it wouldnt be a big deal. I will talk to a few shops and see what they think.

This is true. But the wheels you speak of are made to be universal lug and are probably strengthened and/or cheap wheels. I don't think I've seen a expensive name produce universal lug wheels. Plus I hate the way universal lug looks. If I were you I would just wait for a different set of wheels. I've bought stuff that wasn't exactly what I want just because of a good price and regretted it.
