Re drilling wheels?

[vengie]

I know this topic has been covered however the most recent thread i found was from 05.

I am looking at a set of bbs lm reps for my s4 (yes replicas blah blah I wish I could afford $5000 for a set of rims.)

However the company does not make a 5x112 bolt pattern. (Varrosten es 1.1.2)

Does anyone run a re drilled wheel? I am extremely hesitant as I do not want to ruin the structural integrity of the wheel.

Or does anyone know where I can find a set of 19" reps in hyper black?

Thanks for any input.

I would get a wheel adapter 5x100 to 5x112.

Used LM's hardly fetch $5g's. I thought about getting 19" LM's for my silver Jetta and most sets were going for around $3200 WITH tires. And these sets were in 9/10 condition. Minty minty.

Something to think about.....

There are other LM reps out there that would fit your car (Raderwerks comes to mind).

Regarding redrills. They are quite common, especially with people rocking all sorts of weird wheels on cars these days. Not sure who does them in town though...maybe someone else can chime in on that subject.

How do these things work?

Alberta Wheel Repair just off of Deerfoot can redrill wheels no problem, i think they charge 50bucks a rim or something..

I would give Tunerworks a call or another shop, and ask them.
They make reps for audi bolt patterns for sure.
And if they dont make them in black, it is easy to paint wheels.

They don't.

They won't unless you get a hyper high offset wheel to start with which will have 0 lip. They work like spacers so you will either need stupid hovercraft camber or have a really crappy looking wheel.

very simple concept. the adapter will have double the holes of your bolt pattern (ie: 5 bolt pattern car would have 10 holes). mount the adapter, bolt it down to your hub (which would be the original bolt pattern). you now have 5 holes left which are of the new bolt pattern to mount your new pimp wheels.

UrbanX is sourcing some out for me, didn't even think to call them!

Thanks for the input guys!
