                So 13.4mm thick or should i say thin? bore/core/center. Them wheel boys really went all in while machining them.
                I don't know why they scooped out so much metal from the center.
                It looks clean, no doubt. Cleanest i have ever seen.
                But i would not drive too hard on this fill and drill.

                    still interesting to me how DS looks depending on what angle you look at the car,

                    test fit of the rear only with a little drop on BC coilovers. i'll need spacers up front before they go on







                    in need of alignment, some adjusting up front, next is painting the IS lip, IS skirts and spoiler. will more than likely get some cleaner bolts too

                        I'm with you. 13.4mm is just over 1/2". Thats asking alot from a cast wheel thats been welded on.

                            Well, unless they used super glue and bondo to fill the holes, they were welded in.

                              It's the "fill" part of "fill/drill".
