So there is a wealth of information out there on how to get 5x130 wheels and better quality axles and cv's for our cars.
I am well aware of the 911 hubs or drilled hubs or even adapter plates. Depending on your application, even drilled or 911 hubs need a spacer to fit the rim and tire correctly. So if I were to drill my hubs to 5x4-3/4 (chevy pattern), it would open my world up to literally hundreds of wheel and offset options. Has anyone else done this? does anyone sell these? Surely the racing crowd must use another wheel pattern as not to damage quality 911 rims, or to possibly save weight |

Euromeister fuchs repop 16 and 17"are cheap.
I was offered a set of boyd 16X8 rims last year for dirt cheap, but it wasn't my thang. Most used 911 repop rims are cheap, or at least reasonable. One of the few exceptions would be panasports. I'd have to say porsche 5 bolt done right adds value to the car, but a Chevy pattern will lower the value, as many would consider it a hack no matter how well done. |
