    Only way to go on those wheels is FILL and drill. Nothing wrong with doing it that way.

      The only way to save them is going to require you to have them completely filled. Then drilled out again. If your friend is not going to charge you for anything but materials i'd say it might be worth it. Either way i'll give you $40 for the wheels if you decide to chuck them. If anyone can save them its me.

        Well Ive got an old family back home who is a welder so we're gonna fill them all up completely. I wont let these things die (not too confident on putting them on but I'll try and make them decent). Anyway, full refill. ALL OF IT. Then the people at the wheel zone says they'll remachine them free of cost. And I told them this time I'm gonna be there and make sure they do it right. None of this boring straight through bullshit. I wanna fill with aluminum right? Any pointers?

          If you have got someone willing to put some beads down on your wheels, i would have them build up the ID of the center bore as well. You will have more meat around the lug holes and the center hole could be bored to E30 size (hubcentric).

            Holy shit, that's sketchy looking. I wouldn't put those on any car I cared about.

            If you drive your e30 on stairs, you're gonna have a bad time.
