These wheels were done with a machine. I'll probably have to mount them to show everyone they are usable.
Hope I dont get flamed but here is a link to a random thread for re-drill I came across.. Plenty of others around the web if anyone cares to search. There is one done the way these wheels were towards the bottom of this webpage.

The wheels at the bottom pictures looks to be dual drilled 5x114.3 and 4x114.3. They share one hole and have two semi overlapping. The way you redrilled your wheels, you have no holes shared and 3 out of 4 critically overlapping. Also by using inserts, you now made the wall between the lug hole and the hub bore even thinner thus weakening the structural integrity of the hole even more. I can even see that its been drilled through to the center hub in one picture. There is no doubt that they will bolt up and work, the argument is whether or not they are safe in the long run or with some spirited driving.These wheels were done with a machine.
