id be scared to drive on those. the metal loses almost all structure in the area between the 2 holes. you get any good load of torque on those and its gonna snap the metal and thats prolly not gonna be too good. ---

I’ve seen it done before, but I would never do it. Just fill in the holes with a high quality JB weld… [quote=“AutumnMarie,post:4,topic:26767"”] the balance on those rims are gonna be a f’ed up. [/quote] I would doubt that. The mass is removed from the center not the edge, a very low moment of inertia compared with the edge. ---
