Aussie wheel tech/discussions

[Beware]

You should only need to plug 1 hole and alternate drill between the others shouldn't you, so that sounds a bit steep to me. I went from 4x114.3 to 5x130 on mine and it was $230 for all 4 with 1 plug per wheel and the drilling of 5 holes per wheel. I regret not finding some 5x114.3 centres or complete wheels now and just having them dual PCD(then sell my 4x114.3's), but I had the 4x114.3's at the time and just went with them. It'll hurt my resale and they don't look as nice under the cap, but no big deal, they're done now.

$1250 is a bit high IMO, especially without all caps etc(are they missing all?)....maybe hold out for some 4 stud ones so you don't make the same mistake I did. Caps etc pop up from time to time on Yahoo, as do wheels that you'd have landed for less than $1250, but local buying is always easier.

5X114.3 to 4X100. Autostrada modena 16X7 +36 and 16X8 +24 for $1250 in pretty good condition seems reasonable to me. But $120 each wheel and postage kills it Just wanted to see if anyone knew of any cheaper places in Melbourne as they will be coming from Sydney.

Reasonable price for redrilling wheels ? Been quoted $120 a wheel. Fill and drill. Just wondering if anyone knows of any places in Melbourne too ? Also Modena pins and caps anyone know a good place to sort them ?

There was a guy in the US who did a limited run on replacement modena parts but he stopped producing them now.

You can buy mine but you have to buy the full set of wheels haha

$120 a wheel is crazy.

Ahah Craig, the wheels are getting all bolted together tonight and then sealed, hopefully make an order for tyres tomorrow and then we can put them on the car this weekend.

Well?
