I have a set of TE37's with the specs in the title. Price is definitely negotiable! One rear has a bent lip, quoted $125 to fix from a wheel shop in Dallas. The rears were professionally re-drilled when the previous owner had them. Would make good drift spares or even permanent setup. texts and emails are welcome. Willing to ship on buyers expense (without tires)! Don't be scared to shoot an offer. Need them gone! 254-722-8988. Would be willing to trade for any legit wheels, need wider and around the same offset as mine. Also may consider wheels in 5x112 bolt pattern. Let me know what you have. Thanks for looking!

If the wheels were in decent condition and they weren't redrilled, I would jump on them.
I wouldn't trust the integrity of the wheel after the repair, and to top it off that it got redrilled wouldn't let me sleep well at night.
I've had forged wheels professionally redrilled twice, and never again will I redrill a wheel for my car. It's better to just buy the wheels made for your car rather than modifying them to fit.
Not trying to bash on your thread, but speaking from experience.
Very very bad experience.

Well there are plenty of people who have been just fine on redrills, but I understand... The price takes into consideration the condition of the wheels, and the price is OBO. I don't want much for these compared to their original value. And all the wheels are in good condition, 3 have MINOR curb check. And I don't thing repairing the bend would cause any negative effects on the integrity of the wheel. Again the price takes into consideration all aspects of the wheels, I don't personally thing that these wheels will break because of the redrills. And only the two rears are redrilled. If you weren't scared of the redrill I would let you have em for a great deal... So if you have a change of heart let me know.

I've had an SSR Type C and Volk TE37 redrilled when running on my S14.
(1) SSR Type C cracked in the mid and on the spoke whereas (2) TE37 wheels cracked just around the PCD holes.
No drifting, no SCCA style track racing, just going fast and slowing down fast.
I'm assuming the stress from going really fast and suddenly slowing down caused the wheels to crack.

So these are NOT redrills! I had my friend look at em and he said they used the same cast for different wheels! The sticker on them says 5x114 but the cast by the hub says 5x100. So it'sguyguy let me know if you're interested! Need them gone!

So these are 5X100 and not 5X114.3, correct?

They have to be re-drills. If the cast on the wheel says 5X100 then they were originally 5X100. I highly doubt they would make a mistake from the factory on these wheels. I'm confused.

mine say 5x100 and 5x114.3 on the cast but on the sticker it said 114.3. I freaked out when I saw it at first but they were indeed 5x114. Mine were never redrilled. If I had extra cash to blow I would jump on these

What slum slapper said is true! After looking up some stuff as well, they used to use the same mold or whatever you want to call it to make 17" wheels! So they used the 5x100 on all 5x100, 5x112, 5x114 and then the bolt holes are actually drilled out after! From what I understand! So yes, they are true 5x114! And my sticker says 5x114
