Redrilling wheels.

[drewtn87]

Can anyone offer help or pointers into redrilling some wheels. I have a w140 s class and just acquired some 18inch monoblocks for a w210. The difference is 2mm in the lugs(14mm pitch for the s and 12mm for the e class wheels) and was wondering who could drill (locally to the MAR or nationally) them out of if I should just sell the wheels again. I just love the monoblocks and the offset of the w210 would look awesome on the w140. Any help is appreciated.

Let me just say that those look sick on your car. Honestly i was thinking recently that the stock g35 wheels would look sick on my e46! Just the opposite!

The work looks top notch, I wish I knew someone in NYC that did this? How much did it cost?

We can redrill those easily for you.

Have you looked into wobble bolts?

I thought I heard that only some BBS RS can be re-drilled, something to do with the back? I am looking to get my RSs that came off of a 635 onto my 911. So going from 5 x 120mm to 5 x 1130mm. Is this possible?

There are different methods depending on the wheel. Provided the hub bore isnt too large you should have a problem going from 5x120 to (im guessing) 5x130 Its only a 5mm difference in radius.

there is soooo many 5x130 sets out there. why ruin a 5x120 set ?

you have to look at the back pad, a flat back pad is best for a redrill as it will support the new pattern fully. a bolt pattern specific wheel will have to be filled in the rear or if you dont fill the rear it will have voids where your lugs are. either one can be worked around, but flat back is better.

i have a set of futuras that are perfect for a 4x100 drill if anyone is looking for a set of sick wheels


rotiform does nice work but they are on the expensive side. check them out if your not on a tight budget.

goodluck

You get what you pay for. I went cheap on my first redrill, never again.

you can get quality for less.not to talking down on Roti, they do nice work, but quality can be had for less.

You can insert wheels up to 8mm either way with a big insert ( large hole ). If you want smaller inserts you can only do about 4-5mm. I paid about $18 per wheel to have these drilled and inserted.
