17" Style 5 Redrill to 4x100?

[navid41691]

Don't think you can do the e39 wheels, I'm pretty sure the larger center bore interferes with the lug pattern.

I've always been curious if they would be track safe, or if a ring of sorts could be welded to reinforce the hub bore area

Yeah that was my concern after seeing a pic of someone who had them done. I guess a shitty shop did it for him? Also, since the 4x100 pattern interfered with the existing pattern, they put rings in place to reinforce it.


Thanks guys, I think i'm going to buy them and see what happens. I'm getting them for such a good deal that i'd be stupid to let these slip

Yeah and believe me (owner of the hackjob wheels ;) ) pay the money to have it done RIGHT. And I'd see if they have any pictures of their work for you to see before you have it done. I just learned this lesson, shame if you have to also

Here is a set like mine- http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=195319

A good shop would charge around $100 bucks a wheel. There are places where they do it for cheaper but most of the time its half-ass redrills (rings/ not filled/ etc.)

Where in the NY/NJ/Pa area can wheels be professionally filled and redrilled? And at what cost?

Like these perhaps... it's been done

YES you can. This is not an internet "yes" or "maybe". Make sure you have a shop with a good reputation do the work since it needs to be done RIGHT.

My wheels are filled and redrilled style 5's off the e34. Its possible but you have to take it too a professional shop and make sure you tell them exactly what you want.

@ Pantless Spency; style 5 17x8, 3 piece are from the e39s and style 5 16x8, 1 piece are from e38s. The one hackjob you are refering to is for the e38 style 5s.

[Pantless Spency]

its just a dumb question, you could google fill and drill.
not too long ago a member posted his fill and drill 4x100 style 5's.

[Pantless Spency]

yes you can, just make sure you don't have some dumbass doing it, must have a real professional shop do it.

[navid41691]

So I think I did something wrong...
