Backstory:
Girl posts Ronal LS wheels on craigslist 400kms away.
She only lists the tire size.
I give her a call and ask the bolt pattern. She does not know. Says they were her grand fathers and he's dead.
I ask what car they were on, she says not sure. They weren't on any car in the garage and he's got lots of cars.
I ask for the model number and search it on Ronal's frankly excellent website. They check out. Genuine Ronal LS wheels with 4x100 bolt pattern.
I drive up, they look great. All caps included. Brand new tires. No rash. A steal of a price.
I get home to eagerly mount them to my e30. They won't fit. They've been RAPED. Somebody has bored out the lug holes to 4x108 and inserted a plug. The wheel in the picture is the only one with an additional hole drilled in it as well. I did not notice this because all the wheels had the caps on when I picked them up.
Is there any way I can un-modify these wheels and bring them back to their glorious 4x100 bolt pattern? Or should I just try to get my money back and sell them to somebody with a foxbody mustang. Which is the only thing I think they'll fit now.
