  • 13" rx7 alloys

    I have located a set of wheels that i want but they are 4x110. Being 15 bucks each, that's a hard deal to pass up With that being said you think it would be possible to drill out the holes (on a drill press) 2mm each to fit?? Obviously i wouldn't be removing alot of material and i think the lug nut conical seating surface would be fine.

    They are turbine style wheels, and i think they would look absolutely awesome on there.

      Were talking less than 1/8 inch of material around each bolt hole...

      It's either i do that, or buy 13" hyundai excel rims from 92-94...

      I just love the way they look

        There are places that specialize in that but they are pricey. Thats what owning a festiva is about being cheap! And doing stuff yourself.

            Yeah I like the way they look - I guess you can drill them and see how they look afterwards

              Are you buying them from that link? Because that price is per wheel.....

                  Wes, I would fine a good machine shop and have them turn down the area around the center hole to remove the fins. Then have them drill the bolt pattern you want in the vacant areas. That way you have a multi-pattern wheel and it's much safer. Or, you could try it in your shop with a die grinder and drill press.

                    I have dual drilled oval holes on my s10 and yet to have a problem with them. 5 x 4.5 and 5 x 4.75

                    I'm gonna do it with a drill press

                      How did these turn out for you? I came across a set of these rims with tires for a good price.
