well we decided to cross drill them, they were done by supposedly the best machine shop in town, kinda upset though, the estimate over the phone was $100 , then when we brought them up there they said $150, anyways they are not mounted yet so we don't know about how well it was done, but it looks good

they said i did not tell them they were aluminum, which i know i did, so they told me it was more work to deal with aluminum b/c it's softer, oh well, they are done now, this car was slammed to the ground before, i purchased dropzone coilovers from wheelbroker to raise the car up to fit the 17in rims, it had 16in before and it was so low there was no way to fit 17s unless it was brought up, anyways installed coilovers today and here is how it looks

Yeah Jon, that car of Tinas looks really good, the Coil-overs look set just right and the wheels look really good.
What did you adjust them at 2", 3", or 4"?

I just hope the lug seats hold up. Were they machined or just drilled?

not sure finch, but it was a machine shop and charged me 150 to do it, so i would hope that they didn't just drill out some holes and counter sink them or something, i dropped them off on monday morning and it was fri at closing time before they were finished, if something goes wrong, we'll be taking them back up there, and if they are runined i would hope they would pay to replace

For that price, I'd just get new rims.
