Rim Redrilling

dan_onlytwice · 2nd March 2008, 03:07 PM

Hey Hi.

Have searched yerrow pages to no avail, just wondering if anyone has any good places in wellywood to get rims redrilled at a different PCD at a semi decent price?

Also what are some of the pitfalls of doing this?

Thanks team

Unfortunately, i only want one set of wheels for my car which are always 4x114.3 and my car is 4 by a hungy. I dunno i want some sweet alternatives but spacers will force my wheels to rub hard. I didnt know you can get hubs redrilled? How When Where Why. Im a newfag to this stuff. Any alternatives FTW.

What kind of car? Maybe do a hup swap with a 96 spec ITR?

See pics (car isnt on cutties either)

Edit: Atrocious spelling

croolies · 5th March 2008, 07:02 PM

hey did you get some prices on getting them redrilled? as i found myself a cheap set and wnat to go they same way as you, if its worth it aye. saves getting rid of them

DrRubber · 5th March 2008, 08:47 PM

place up here does it for $5 a hole.........however whoever does it wont gaurantee your paintwork due to obvious reasons.......far easier to do with a wheel that has centre caps eh....

Nah sorry these Wellington engineers are a bunch of girls. I called M n' Turbo, Three 'specialist engineers', a place in palmy, Midas Porirua and Lower Hutt, as well as a few random wheel shops and no one had the scrotum to do it.

General consensus is that it'll make the rims too weak. Although five or six of the places all said "yeah we dont but we know a place who does" and referred me on to them. Was a huge waste of my time. Surely there must be an engineer here from the Wellington area. I really want some ITR rims!

Is the 'place' a chain or just a random shop? I've searched high and low. Five bucks a hole is cheap too.

DrRubber · 6th March 2008, 05:52 PM

Its an engineering firm we used to use to drill all our blank wheels etc....they specialise in doing wheel repairs and drilling....also enlaging centre bores etc.

I can give you the details but you would obviously ship the wheels back and foward

croolies · 6th March 2008, 06:50 PM

yea im keen for this aswell, can you post up the details? can they remove flatspots aswell?

DrRubber · 6th March 2008, 06:57 PM

sharrock engineering, joval place.......manakau

www.yellowpages.co.nz

bear in mind that $5 a hole was our price and we got alot of wheels drilled....maybe different for retail ?

Mike is the guy to talk to....... :thumbsup:

DrRubber · 6th March 2008, 06:58 PM

may pay to send pics of the wheels tho as in some instances he may say no !!!

LOWDWN · 6th March 2008, 07:15 PM

BadCf4 thanks for your help!!! This is just turning into one big fuck off hassle now.

Matty · 7th March 2008, 11:59 AM

Yep. Makes you wonder if it wouldn't just be easier to find the same style of wheel in 4x100 doesn't it? :wink: I think Enkei make it but I can't remember the model.

Fabolous · 7th March 2008, 01:00 PM

wesport TC05's are knock-offs at 4x100...
