    Default Wheel Drilling

    I got some 4x114.3 wheels that need to be re-drilled to 4x100. If anyone has any good suggestions, let me know please.

    Pricing would be also be great.

    thanks in advance

    Take them to a machine shop that has a vert. mill and a rotary table. You do it yourself, you'll end up with a shaking ass car

    buy 4x100 wheels. I say it's a bad idea, drilling holes after manufacturing is gonna take strength away from them.

    I have to agree on this one. The only proper way to do it is to have the holes welded up and then redrilled. but honestly, just get some new wheels.

    Only problem with that is all the "Cool Boy" wheels don't usually come in off-beat patterns. Oh well.

    If you're gonna do it, overdo it.

    Default Drilling

    If you are adding a bolt pattern to a covered lug wheel this is fine. Wheels come dual drilled all the time. Doing a drill and insert - while it is a common practice - i guess you could say it isnt so good, but even wheel manufacturers do it all the time.
