Just wondering if anyone in Norcal can redrill wheels to prevent me from having to use adapters? Also, what pricing can be expected for such a service?

Thanks

Pm myis350g (jon).... He did it

 

Might also want to hit up wheel technique in santa clara or memoryfab in Union City

 

The wheels I have on my IS350 now are 5x120, don't know how they went from 120 to 114.3. The back of the wheels still have 5x120 stamps. I like the style and LC doesn't give me the offsets I wanted so I went with these wheels. You might better off runing spacers.

 

spacers won't help him Jon. He needs the wheels drilled to allow the studs to be able to install them.

 

I meant adapters

 

Which wheels are you planning on redrilling?

 

I'm still not 100% decided on which wheels I will be going with but I am sure I want to replace my current wheels (07-08 RX350 18's with 225/40 and 245/40 tires).

I've considered E60 M5 wheels 19" and E39 M5 18" wheels with no spacers.

But if XXR comes out with an 18" or 19" version of the 531, that may be the ticket.

 

Hmmm, I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. Are you suggesting that someone must have redrilled your wheels? And why are you recommending adapters over the redrilling?

 

I spoke to Jon MYIS350G about his rims. What I believe I understood is that the wheels were blank and the factory drilled them to the offset for Lexus. They did not "redrill".

Go look up California Wheels, they are the only place I have heard that can redrill.

 

California Wheels on alum rock does it.

70 a wheel I believe. They redrilled my boys Mayas from 120 to 114.3

 

That's not bad and they aren't too far from me.

Here is a concern... Can I be sure that they won't damage the face of the wheel when they go through the CNC process? What's been your experience.

 

Percision wheels works in sacramento

 

Does anyone know the drilling process? Like does the tire have to be off the rim and is a CNC used? Or is there some sort of a hand tool process used?

Very interested in having this done and really liking the style 95 BMW wheels from the late model 7-series.

 

If I decide to stay OEM wheels, it will most likely be 19x9/19x10 Style 95s (which came on 7 series BMWs from 2002-2008)
