How Original Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Just curious as to if it's safe/wise to drill a wheel that's undrilled? I've noticed quite a few people extended an already drilled rim, or drilling the sides of one that's drilled. But is it actually wise/safe to do it to a completely standard wheel? Also if so, what's the best/easiest/safest way of doing it to ensure even holes, without bending the rim? And what size of holes roughly would people recommend? It's for an Onza T-Pro.

dave33 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 It's just what many people used to do before you could buy rims with holes, hole saw is probably the best way. Don't go more than 2 1/3s of the inner width of the rim as a general guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 takes more time than it would to earn the money for better rims... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
How Original Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 takes more time than it would to earn the money for better rims... I mainly want to do it for the experience of doing it, plus I've never had holed rims, think it would look a bit better, and obviously lighter too. I'm looking at having a wheel built and stuff from Tarty or if someone has one on here, so not too bothered if it goes right or wrong, just wanted some advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williams Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Thinking of doing the same to my Try-all undrilled 19" blabla bla... but yeah, would that make it a shitload weaker, and how much weight does it save? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
