    i guess.... i see that being a problem as well but i dont see why we all dont just buy wheels that fit our cars.... they are actually about as available as 4x100 u just have to know where to look.

      just do a 4x100 conversion

      could be worse....a 4 to 5 lug conversion.

        I can do that too, But the thing is, When you weld up the holes thats just a filler, The wheel can warp if not careful.

            if you do happen to do it, do it the right way and get the current holes filled and then get them redrilled as mentioned above..

                SO THAT'S HOW THEY DO IT.
                I always thought they did it, the proper way. Guess not.

                    even while driving at the limit losing a wheel can put you under a semi in the opposite lane

                    i just said 100 because i know ppl drive there every now and then (not saying every does.. but then again wats the sense in spending money to make your car go faster then only drive at the limit ALL the time)

                      sometimes driving well isnt all about speed.

                            i dont think its safe. a good wheel is designed to properly support where the lug comes into contact and distribute evenly...but if you start drilling and putting load where its not designed to go...
