No- one that I've found... even getting a wheel straightened is getting to be a bit difficult.

If you find someone to weld them, I can drill them

Ive been asked where mine were done 500 times. I called 98 machine shops around pdx metro area. I was recomended by a friend in Cali to a wheel shop in LA. Its called LAX WHEEL, or LA wheel. It was 45$ a wheel, and now its around 60-90$. Its worth a call, they dont make it look welded at all, and can send pics to anyone who wants to see it. They made it look factory. When they fill it. They used molten metal to fill holes, and machined them to look flush. Its a waste of time calling around. I jusy shipped mine to the shop, and had a local r3ver facilitate the deal for like 20$
Id be happy to answer any additional questions, all the local shops I called, only 1 said he would do it, but he was completely incompetent, and said it was gonna be 900$Last edited by Matt-B; 05-28-2015, 12:15 PM.Comment

Fuck it. You've talked about that place for a while. Can't beat it for the price. Guess I'll tear them down next week...

Basically when people say "I can weld it," its not that simple, some of the new holes cut into old holes, and you can just pile a bunch of weld into old hole. No offense to anyone whos a welder. Its just not easy like it.soundsComment

It is, however, relatively time- consuming to fill a hole that big, and involves a lot of heat,
therefore making it hard not to soften the base metal.
Then there are all those lawyers who are frustrated that they can't sue the Chinese,
so they're all hot- and- bothered to go after anyone they CAN get.
And given that a set of decent rims runs maybe $500 now anyways (see above Chinese, who are
getting pretty good at a lot of things) and it's no wonder that someone who's
spent a decade or 3 building skills and maybe a business or 2 doesn't want the risk...
