Stupid 4x108

[hafftrak]

The wheels I really really really want are not available in our bolt pattern. Is there any place local that will drill a second 4x108 pattern in a set of wheels? Is it structurally safe to do this?

Whats the offset?

And what wheels? :):)

[hafftrak]

yum



17x7 with a 43mm or 35mm offset... 14.6 lbs!

MMMM NOM NOM

Those could be drilled, you thinking of just getting a 4x100 and have them done?

I'll send a PM to my guy who does my spacers and other misc stuff. He might be able to drill wheels...I'll let ya know...

Can you get 17x8's?

[hafftrak]

Yup, I see these for sale every now and then on the Honda boards in 4x100... pick a set up and have them redrilled, and find some press-fit plugs or something for the old holes. I hate the look of dual-pattern wheels, but I'm not about to order custom wheels from Enkei. This way if (when) one gets bent or curbed, I can get another one fairly easily.

[hafftrak]

Yup, but they are 5 lug.

Got a message back. He says he could do it. But hewouldhave to see the wheels first. He quoted about 50$ a wheel. And he's local...

[hafftrak]

Sweeeeeeeeet. I'll have to come back to this, probably be a winter project.

How about filling the old holes? Can he do that as well?

Yeah, try having an early-offset 944. Tire rack lists 68 wheels for a ZX3. There's 1 for a 1984 944. And a set is $3200. There are a lot more cars that use 4x108 than use 5x130.
