    They're almost never done correctly the first time and you end up having to get it redone, the heat put into it while welding the holes shut significantly weakens the wheel, it's ugly unless you spend a ton to have it smoothed up, it's expensive, and it lowers the resale of the wheels.

      So if you find a company to do it right the first time and who can weld properly, have center caps, and a few bucks in your pocket there are no down sides. Gotcha. As for resale, I beg to differ.

        I got mine done with Wheelflip, it took them like an extra week or so. I told them to keep the centerbore the same size and they did, but some of the redrilling went through the thin wall of metal in between.

                  One of my wheels was bent so they couldn't fill and drill them due to them being untrue.
