    where can i get these filled and redrilled?

    im located in phoenix az, and im in the process of getting a set of bbs rs that are 5x130 and i need them to be 4x100. where can i send them to get done? the only place around here (wheel specialist) say that its not possible.

    I don't know if it is possible (I suspect not), but I do know that this is a really stupid idea.

        Completely different wheels.

        OP - What is the centerbore of the wheel and are there any cut outs in the back of the wheel between each lug?

          there are tons you can redrill, but you need to get stats to the wheels shops. they can tell by looking...

                sell 5x130 centers and buy 4x100 centers. The porsche ones are much more common so worth less, but in the end you'll spend less than the redrill and it won't be ghetto

                  Porsche.

                  What is the offset of the wheels? Which model did they come off of? Some Porsche offsets (944, 911) are 52 & 53.5et respectively. Others measure in the 60s [928] and some in the high 40s.

                  What does this mean for you? You can get adapters and run them SAFELY with a lower cost than having them filled and redrilled. You will have a much easier time selling them as well because others won't want to be a wheel that is structurally compromised if they have any sense.

                  There is a group buy on adapters in the classified forums. Best of luck.

                    This. Adapters are the way to go, don't ruin a set of wheels like this by having them filled/drilled.

                      Plus your offsets on a porsche wheel will be high. Then you'll need spacers.

                            Not possible, bbs rs never came in 4x100 with a 34 bolt centre, rs003 are a 15" 30 bolt centre.

                            If your offsets are already low you could swap the centres for a set of 4x114's and have them redrilled, Porsche centre bore is way to big to run a 4x100 redrill safely.
                            But, if you have 15mm or more to spare on the offset go with the adapters like everyone has mentioned.

                              Wheel specialist know what they're talking about. If they won't do it there's a reason.
