yes, buuuuut if they can be redrilled safely without filling i could sell them as either 5x120 of 4x100 :D

although i would probably geet them filled anyways as i like rs' ran capless. i just need to find someone to pick em up for me.

Actually, you could go with adapters. That way w/ adapters theyre 4x100 and w/o theyre 5x120. And adaptec sells them in as skinny as 18mm now.

that's another thing i was thinking about. it's looking like i won'tbe getting them right now though, too much of a confliction in schedules, and the distance.

meeting him tomorrow night! :D
ill see what i have to mess with when it comes to offsets, then decide whether or not i will fill/drill or get adapters. i may order bigger lips though, so we'll see how it all pans out. i'm excited though :)

EDIT: All his pictures have been deleted from photobucket so you just get the error message. Lame.
