Redrilling Wheels....Cost?

[Lorenz]

Am looking at a set of BBS wheels for the dub, but they are not the right stud pattern (ie 4x114.3).

Just wondering how much I would be looking at roughly to get them redrilled to 4x100?

Thanks for any help,

Lorenz

About $60-80 for each wheel. Check to see if the design of the wheel allows for redrilling. Some designs may require you to fill in the old holes, then redrill over them. In that case, you'll need to add another $40-60 on top for the filling. Prices may be different in your area though... PM evorobin.

Cheers mate, can always rely on you for wheel query answers!!
From memory, they can be redrilled as they have a flat face on the back, but I'll have to double check before i get them of course!

16" BBS meshies, exactly what I've been after for the Golf

Easy as! Just get someone reputable to have them done.

Ray is on the money. I beleive those 16s are flat back, which means most wheel places should did it for around $80 a wheel. Will be close to the centrebore so some places wont touch it as they arent confident in their methods.

Any other questions feel free to PM me as ive done the same with 15s see my 4sale thread.

Does redrilling affect the strength by much? Im looking at some compomotive MOs but they'll need redrilling, but i wont bother if theres a chance they'll crack

[evorobin]

If I was getting them done I'd get the old holes filled and have the corrrect centre bore made. $400 for peace of mind

[ibeezer]

Thats $400 a set or per wheel?

[Lorenz]

$100 a wheel, so $400 a set!

Hey

Hi, shouldnt pay more than $200 max for the whole set, i got mine done for $150 difficult ones cost round $175, but like i sed, no more than $200. anymore than that n ur being taken for a ride. Im in Sydney n don't know anyone in Adelaide, but have a look around don't just take the first price u get. Hope this helps, Laters

It's called 'inserting'. You make an 'insert' to fit in the holes.

That's an awesome price got some pics of the work?

[Lorenz]

I was quoted mates rates of $150 for the lot Robin. Wont be needing it now though

[intensem1]

Which company in Adelaide quoted that? Very cheap

[evorobin]

Matt got those borbets drilled for $80 as they were already 4x108 but I'm talking about this



I also get the centre bore reduced to 57.1 so I suppose it's less than 400 for just the fill and inserts....
