Thoughts on re-drilling wheels with a little venting

[wrc_fan]

This all is true, best option is to run wheels manufactured in 4x108 with correct hub sizing. Re-drilling into virgin material would be the next best option. Filling with tig welding is questionable, the heat affected zone from welding will be weak and brittle.

I've been using my rota's for 2+ years now with no problems, I think they're a viable option, considering the price. I like to say they are lightened by Rota's propiatary void casting technology;)

Well update on the story here for me ...

The guys I have been dealing with ... found me a set and with all of the mix up ...

They will pay to get my wheels and tires mounted correctly and also give me a new set of lug nuts ...

So, I am not as ticked off as I was at the beginning of all the wreck here.

I will post up some pics once everything is mounted and I go out for a quick test run.

slapping curbs and potholes wil ldo that to any rim. i have a17" konig in my bsement that cracked, bent and actually has hole in it from hitting a pothole at freeway speed. and the worst one ive hears was due to a fitment error with not enough spacing to clear things like brakes.
