I've missed not having 5 spokes, so I've pieced together this set over the last 5 months. So far real happy with how they turned out. Much easier to clean compared to my RPF1's and Assetto Gara's

To redrill, you don't have to fill the face and then redrill the holes (although, filling and drilling is a process that can be used). Shops can "extend" the lug hole to the new diameter and then use an insert at the lug seat.

This is a wheel that has been redrilled with an insert: https://goo.gl/images/KGCCZa.

You win I wasnt familiar with the insert approach

These were originally 5x100, redrilled to 5x108. I bought them from Aspire Motoring; they charged $25 per wheel to do the redrill. They were done with inserts, not fill and drill, and they did a really good job IMO. My only *minor* complaint/concern is that the lug cutout is raw now (paint removed from the redrill). Hard to tell since the wheel is silver also.

They turned out pretty nice! If they are raw as in bare metal, you might be able to find a touch up paint thats close enough to keep the elements from getting to the metal and less noticeable.

Probably bought them in either 5x100 or 5x114.3 and had them re-drilled to 5x108. Some people run adapters, as well, but not sure how easy that would be with the wider wheels

It doesnt look like a fill and drill, if it was, they did a clean job with the wheel face. Looking at the pictures, the lug holes seem evenly spaced and machined. I wouldnt think it was an adapter either, most would be around 1" thick and he says the offset is 45, adding 25mm from a spacer would mean they'd have to be like an et70 originally no cars run that. Nor does it look like he's poking from running a spacer with that wheel size/offset. Technically Enkei doesnt list my RPF1's on their site as being available in 5x108 and 18x8.5 but they do exist thanks to Oakos ordering batches.

@deesiel678 did you order a custom set? Fill and drill? Spacer? Hub/rotor redrill? inquiring minds want to know your secrets!
