Where are you located? Most wheel repair shops should be able to do it.

you can drill something to smaller bolt pattern if they fill it and redrill it.. but then again that will require a repaint on the whole wheel assuming its not a 3 piece wheel.

You can redrill 5x120 to 5x114.3 Rotiform does it to most of their wheels. I doubt they would offer that as an option if it made their wheels weaker, but I could be wrong.

I was going to purchase a set and I remember asking.... and they said they insert a ring/sleeve inside the lug hole to make it smaller.


Like this (if you can see it)



So it's not really redrilling then I guess....

Yeah it is. But I highly recommend you get it done by a professional!!!!!

A buddy of mine had this done to a set of 2010 TL SH-AWD wheels that he had on his TSX, and the lugs just kept spinning and wouldn't tighten. LOL

yea there is a lot of risk for a little reward, especially when you can just buy adapters
