can i drill new holes??
 

would it be adviced to drill new holes in my rims i spent 1,000 on a set of rims and i really dont have the money to get it done so i was gonna do it!! any trouble with that

If it is done by a wheel professional it should be fine. Go by the professionals recommendations.

Don"t Do It Yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I had $1,000 to spend on wheels, I would get a set with the correct bolt pattern & offset to begin with. Then I would spend the remaining $500 on beer.

Definately not a DIY job. If you're off by even a little on one hole you could throw the wheel out of balance and do some damage. Breaking lugs/studs/bolts is not good.
Ever race your own wheel down the street? It's kinda funny until you nose dive and jack knife.

same here ebay style and then belmont beverage for the rest

lol yeah i think i might just take it somewere ..this one old man wants like 400$ for f***ing wheel adapters so im like nah ...do yall know were any websites for this kinda stuff is?? i have a tire a wheel place close to my hose... and i took auto body for about 4 years soo i know how to u a bench drill soo thats y i said i could do it but i think i will just go somewere

Hell no don't use a bench drill on those, damn, go talk to your local tire people they should be able to direct you to a professional.

This is not a job for anyone but a wheel professional.

ok .......fu** it who wants to get drunk than???!!!!!

What type of rims did you buy? And for a Grand how come you didnt check to make sure they fit?

No offense or anything just asking?

eneki umm i told them what bolt pattern it was and they sent me the wrong fucking one i was sooo pissed soo now i cant return them and i am stuck with them and i have to figure out what to do

What do you mean you cant return them?

Its there fault! Correct?

It doesnt work like that, if they send you the wrong one, then by all means they are the ones that needs to correct it.

nope called and asked they said they had a 30 day return policie and i called them on the 30th day thats fucked up isnt it

Doesnt the 30th day count in a 30 day period?

Go talk to the BBB that 30 days doesn't cover their mistake, that's always there problem.

Don't take that crap, and I'm ready for some beer.

Where are you in Ohio

This is what I would do,

Call and ask for the owner or manager
Tell him what happened including being told they wouldnt accept return
Tell them that if they don't make THEIR mistake right, you will go to BBB, and post about them in every forum in the Internet.

Hell I'll call them and advise them I heard about them from you and will never buy from them because of this crap.

Who are they, it should be known what they do to their customers

yup im in ohio come on lets get drunk aussiesmg.. nope i guess it doesnt count

Oh yes that 30th day in a 30 day period counts. Aussie is rigth call them and ask for the owner/manager.

Thats bullcrap!! Post the business, we have the right to know who does crappy business!

I have this funny feeling there is more to the story than the company sending out the wrong wheels,and then not taking them in return.I don't think any company would treat a paying customer like that especially if it was beyong the 30 days.Also if you are spending $1000 on wheels with a company I would think they would take pretty good care of you.Come clean there is more to this story.

Oh yeah don't drill the wheels yourself.That sounds like a really bad idea.

Are those trustworthy?

Where are you in Ohio? I've got 3 days left of my vacation and I could go for a good barby... ;)

LokiRX7.1 and I drove about two hours to hang with Aussie and talk for like six hours. You're definately coming round with all of us. :)

i personally dont know but someone on here had the link and they said they were pretty good...it beats $400..they look strong enough for me

I don't know... I'd feel kinda scared to take some hard corners with those but I never tried it or anything so I can't say much.

yea same here...well look how thick they are..i think they would hold up good..but you never know..you think they would still be selling them if they were faulty?

Well, you never know when they do or not... until you try, right?

weights dude. get a wheel spinner and take out the drill. tadaa. just order some weights. simple.

yea i might try em out when i have enought money for new rims

Cool, make sure you make a thread about it to catch my attention or something. :icon_tup:

yea i will...but it wont be anytime this year.lol...all the money is going into the motor first

Oh ok. What are you getting for the motor?

well i need to pick up the car first its a 83 not sure what model..with 29,000 original miles..im doing full tune up cap,rotor,plugs,change tranny an diff fluid and oil,new clutch master and slave cylinder,maby a sterling carb,rull racing beat exhaust,e fan, an thats all i can think of right now

how much?

im paying 2500 for the car...grage kept no rust...faded paint..needs new hatch carpet..an new seats i still think its a good deal

Yeah, you showed me some pics. The is looking good except the fade on the roof, but damn... 29K miles!!

^^Threadjack... wtf...

Anyway, bringing us back on topic, to the original poster: DON'T DO IT YOURSELF!

4 years of autoshop does not make you a machinist

take it to a pro, or return those bastards...

what kind of weak-kneed consumer are you, accepting this kind of crap from a business... if they fuct up, it's their fault, and they have to fix it... if they refuse to, get a hold of your credit card company and let them straighten it out for you....

sorry bout the highjack lol
