rare Panasport Centerlock wheels - refinish or not?
I'd refinish them. A nice oem color and a polish out of the bolts (if you can) will be a great addition. Granted they are going to be hard to sell regardless to the mass market.
Limited because of 12 holes on the wheel, so you can machine/drill 4, 6, or 8 lug bolt holes. That is if the current PCD is something within normal specs(If the PCD is something like 124mm then its not usable).
if drill 4 lugs then 2 holes will be on spokes, I think its not good. I think to drill such wheels not good idea at all
Ok so you want to use on 5 lug, make custom adapters.
Guessing the minimum thickness would be something like 20-25mm.
Is there room to make that fit? Is the offse high enough to subtract 20 mm from it?
I want to sell them like centerlock wheels, without any PCD or adapters. And the question is - refinish them or not before selling?
Anyway if I would like to set them - I would found the room for sure)) by fenders or something. But I think drilling or adapters will "kill" that wheels, imho
