MitchM4 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Hey guys, After 9 months of purchasing my r33 N/A, im still getting around on its stock wheels, and the tyres are starting to go . Im super strapped for cash, as ive just moved, and are constantly getting hit with annoying expanses, so saving money is getting hard. Being N/A, nice looking 4 stud wheels are very hard to come by cheaply(second hand wheels). So heres my question, ive found some nice looking "5" stud wheels with tyres included, im wondering if i could just drill my own holes and patch it up so its nice and solid...is this impossible and a ridiculous idea or can it be done?

istdercollen Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 to be flat out honest, it's a terrible Idea. I don't mean to be harsh, but if you can't afford the wheels, you most likely can't afford the equipment to redrill a set of wheel properly. also, if I owned a shop, i wouldn't do it for you because of the liability. just get new tires for the stockers and wait it out til you can get what you want. Much EASIER, and much SAFER too Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/315205-need-wheels-quick-but-no-money/#findComment-5164727 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTR-N1 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Have you got a rich uncle who needs his vegie patch weeded or his gutters are full of leaves? As you come back with your tools, ask him what he thinks of the canvas that's showing up from under the rubber...
