I would rather not mess up the car the wheels can be replaced easily.. yes they are expansive but not as expensive as it would be to fix the car if the studs came flying off along with the wheels lol

ok here is my history on the matter
I have had what you done before on a set of wheels and imo
there are not too many competant machinist around to get it done
the right way and the ones that are competant do not want to be bothered
or would want too much money to do it for you.

it is not a big deal but to get them holes drilled perfectly centered
now that is a whole another story.

what size are you Fikse wheels?
i had an identical set to yours that i sold a while back.

i loved those wheels but it was a real pain to clean in between the spokes
especially the part where the polished lip was exposed in between the spokes. i always wanted to get that part milled off.

great looking car by the way
same exact car I always wanted except with a black interior instead of tan

Interior has been changed to black I couldnt stand the tan..

The wheels are 17x11 5.5 bs had the same wheels before any yes hard to clean but the last ones I had were used I'm hoping I can keep these nice and always clean because they are new
