5x120 to 4x100 Redrill follow up?

You could do a better job with a drill press - really. Bet you paid in cash too.

I find it hard to believe that you payed for that. If i saw that shit when i went to pick up my wheels i would have first of all not payed them squat and then i would have asked for $250 bucks and tell them they are now going have an extra set of wheels lying around their shop.

Now that you payed and took them home it might be hard to prove that the shop did this and not that you tried to modify them again afterwards or something. you payed for them when you saw them so you must have approved of the work then, right?

Good luck man

Had to prepay. Didnt notice the torn one until I was at home. I went there because I had talked to somebody who has had them do this for several sets of wheels and he swore by them. Im going to go down there today. For all of those curious it was done by THE WHEEL ZONE in San Diego.

Dude, stay the FUCK AWAY from those. Take it from an engineer. Thats shit is hella sketch, I woudln't even look at them funny. The aluminum is pushed, bulged and stretch out. It's lost most of it's strength at that point. I'd get your moeny back ASAP, and ask for reimbursment for ruining your wheels. Those are fucking TOAST.

Easy, bro, just fill the additional holes and drill once more.


Seriously though, that's messed up. You can easily get $250 for a set of these, they look great on lots of older BMWs.

??? I'm confused. Not sure if you were pushing sarcasm or not. Either way it didn't work. The first statement would make the wheels very weak. I'm not sure what the second statement is in reference to.

This makes me a little more tentative to have mine done. I spoke with e30rob who makes spacers and adapters for the board, and he said he's got a machine shop that can do a proper fill and drill (read, actually fill the holes).

I'm waiting to hear back regarding a few questions, but if it seems like he can do the work properly I'm going to have my set done. If I have them done I'll be sure to let you guys know how they came out. Hopefully he does a good job so we can have another known good shop on the board.

I hope to god my wheels don't come back looking like that... I would be furious. Besides throwing those wheels out, what are you going to do about the fact that they ruined our otherwise perfectly good wheels?

[Philo]

At least you have a good humor about this. Was there any kind of agreement to the quality of the work? Did you verify that is was ok? Or did they ever have any doubts about the job coming out well?

If you can I would get them to replace the wheels and/or refund your money. That is a very sketchy job.

[JJ1]

Soooooo, nobody wants to buy these?



j/k

[OOMPH!]

Woooooooooooow WTF, they ruined your wheels!!!!!!!!! Those are a 100% deathtrap....

[Philo]

Official Fill and Drill Process:

Step 1: Skip the "fill" part.

Step 2: Use an inaccurate machine to dill holes off center with a dull bit.

Step 3: Charge the guy who owns the wheels you just destroyed.

Repeat steps 1-3 until someone takes you to court, then flee the country.

Where's the fill....

And wow man... That looks kid of scary.

[Wishno87]

Cause its 30 bucks a wheel

Hmm i guess i just got mine done legit before the price went way up.

[Holland]

Cause its 30 bucks a wheel

120$ seems worth it when you consider what you might be saving...

[Jand3rson]

Because he only paid $120 for all 4 of them.

Edit - FUCK
