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 :action-smiley-069:. 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?

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

Agreed!!!

There are some things you just don't do yourself, as they put people's life at risk, and this is DEFINITELY one of them!

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...

i have a set of 18x8 38 off set, Speedy Gun Metal Envy rims i would sell for 700. but not sure if they fit, never tried them. did fit my ford but not sure if the stud is the same. PM me if you would like them.

Cheers

just get some second hand tyres for the short term if ur not rippin skids they will last a while

Agreed - good quality 2nd hand ones and a balance. Or if you have a little bit more dollars buy a brand new set of cheapies :cool:

Put them on your stokies and until you save enough $$$
