Could he get them redrilled just to use them for auto-x? I assume he is asking because he came across a cheap set.
But isn't being hub centric important, so the forces go through the hub and not just the lugs?
if you are just looking for good used auto--x wheels that will require redrilling, look for old BBS wheels- these things are very strong and very light. Many 80's cars came with 14" BBS (BMWs, even some VWs) and later Miatas (the 92 Miata I had was shod with 14" BBS wheels -light as feathers).

I asked if they would work because I have them Laying around,They bolted right up to a'85 GSL-SE which is a 4 1/2 bolt pattern I figured I could Drill out the rims But I dont want to have a wheel fly off on me.I also have 14+7 Supra wheels(4 lug with sticky tires on em)&I have -2-13+5 American Racing Libres(fronts)&-2-13+7(rears)no tires.I figured 1 of these wheels has to fit.Worst case I will just use the UGLY wheels that are on it.
