    Default 5 stud to 4 stud?

    Has anyone got this done before? I have a pair of 5 studs want to cut the centre out and weld a new 4 stud piece on as ive been told i cannot redrill them as they are a steel weel if any one can put a few wheel repairers numbers and even websites up it would be good thanks Ender.

    I dont think it'd be worth it... get some other rims unless you want to do a 5 stud conversion on the car

    i have a pair of rims that were changed from 5 to 4 stud, they welded up the holes then redrilled them but tbh its not really worth getting it done unless you really like the rims

    was going to cost me like $200 to do my 2nd pair, dont think its worth doing that for some shitty steel rims

    There is place in Vic that does it, you bring in the wheels and either new centres or some other wheels from which to donate the centres and they will swap them for you.
    Was $60 per wheel when I spoke to them. I don't recall the name though.

    I just had a quick search. It could possible have been Ajax wheels in Moorabbin. Their name was the only one that rang a bell.
    That price ($60) was with me supplying both the rims and the centres to be welded.
    I think i was quoted about $120 to have the centres welded in and the rims widened to 8".

    ajax in moorabbin are awesome. their shop might look a little dodgy outside but their work is great. will definitely get more work done by them
