  • Filling and redrilling!!

    Does anyo9ne know if Alberta Wheel and repair would be able to fill and redrill a set of wheels to a new bolt pattern? Or do you think it would just be easier to get adapters?
    Cheers

    they will do it, but its almost not worth it, because if u re drill the wheel, it becomes weaker.

        Also welding aluminum destroys the heat treatment.

            Does anybody care that AWR is the single worst company I have ever dealt with?? I'm not alone, and would never take another wheel there again.

                They did a really good job on my rims. Can't even tell there was ever anything wrong with them. My only complaint is that it took a long time.

                      I know there is at least 2 other people that do wheel repair in the city, Glenmore Audi recomended me to one and I talked to another at a Tunerworks BMW car show. I don't remember what the names were tho.

                        That's probably Wheelworks. I had some lug holes bored out there. Heard lots of ggod things about them, and not many (if any) complaints.
