    wheel shop in Melbourne to re drill wheels.

    I have a set of 16x7+35 and 16x8+35 work equips, at the moment they are 5 x 114.3 I am looking for someone to fill and re drill these to a 5x100. Who have people used in Melbourne and what did you think of them?

    I would not like to redrill wheels. If you must use them, then get some adapters.

    I have seen alot of people do it Greg so I assumed it must work ok?
    Dylan, the will need to be filled and then drilled, although I don't know how it all works exactly I thought they must fill the original holes and then drill new ones?

    The whole face will have to be filled by welding, cut back flat both on the face and mounting face, new recess in the face, then new holes drill in the recess. Don't think you would find many people willing to do that.
    Dunno if even the likes of rotiform would

    It's possible, but potentially you would be more looking at a 'plug and drill', where are bolt hole is dramatically opened up, and a new plug squeezed in, then the new patten redrilled.

    Maybe I'll just keep them in the garage and buy some 5x100 wheels

    I gotta my te37 redrilled it only cost $50. Wheelmods in ferntree gully they would definitely look after you mate. Btw personally I wouldn’t do adaptors due to the fact at certain speed you feel a lot of vibration.
