Re-drilling mags?

Postby snwtoy » Wed Jan 26, 2005 9:01 pm

Does anyone know how much it would cost to get mags re-drilled?
If so what type of shop can do it?
There seems to be bugger all available in the pcd and offset to suit the caldina....

go to brugar engineering on barrys point road on the north shore, and ask for roddiz, they do lots of wheel stuff, if he can do it, you will need to take tyres off if they are on the rims, to take the tyres off come see me at my work and i will do it cheap as chips for ya :lol:

I thought it was illegal too, but you do see loads of cars with drilled mags around the place. And some pretty shoddy jobs too. Anybody know the law on this?

prolly not legal unless cert'd - would be a huge safety hazard if not done properly

Most of the redrilling work I have seen on cars round the place is soooo bad. If you dropped the clutch fairly hard, you woudl have the studs turning inside the wheels pretty easily... yet I see so many cars round with them. WTF? :?
