Redrilling battles

[hat trick]

I don't know anyone around here with a set of battles so I can look at them. Does anyone know if battles can be redrilled to 5x120? A buddy of mine is not sure if they will have it.
Thanks

No... look at the design, its not very permitting for bolt pattern alterations; not to mention, that would be an ambitious task.

I appreciate your input!

call the company and see what they can do.

Yeah you might be able to custom order that bolt pattern for a very special price I am sure haha Its not worth the money on those wheels you could get some much better ones for the price there prob going to charge you if they do the custom order

They also make wheel spacer adapters to go from 114.3 to 120. Thats another cheap suggestion.

I'll call them tomorrow and see what they can do.
I am going to run adapters in the rear, but want to redrill in the front. All for perfect offset reasons and same size all round :naughty:

Redrill it and let us know how it goes.
You'll probably end up driving the car into the ground.

There are plenty of wheels that fit BMWs - why would you want to get a set of Battles redrilled and hope they don't break apart?

+1 [Coming from the BMW scene] there are a lot better wheel choices out there. Especially for tracking.

Besides, I have SERIOUS doubts that MB will even begin to consider making a "custom drilled" wheel.

They're not worth having redrilled either. They're cheap wheels.

I agree. Get something else.

Yes get something else and let me have those mb's lol

Yep, 2 E36 M3s here previously. There are tons of wheels in the $200-250 range, which is not far from what these would cost after redrilling or adapters.
