Guys, I was just wondering if any of you have RE DRILL your rims to fit to your car.
Say, u find a set of wheel that has 5x114,3 and make another hole/re drill to make it 4x100.Is it safe?
it's like a cheaper version of 5 stud conversion...lol

well
ive heard of it being done many times, but lets look at the logical aspect of it,

a rim is desgned by metal and melting into shape so it has specific weight here and there and molocules in place etc etc
i would imagine re drilling into it wouldnt be very safe as it would unload pressure and add pressure here and there
somewhat like cutting springs,
possible but probably not the safest thing to do!

1. looks shite.

2. looks shite

3. costs money which could be spent on the right rims in the first place.

Weakens rims, makes it prone to cracking, and cops don't like it. Makes your car non-roadworthy as well.

5 stud wheels redrilled to 4 stud are unsafe, and as mentioned previously, ugly as fock.
