Wheel questions.

Ok, I;m actually looking at getting rims for once. I love the way slicers look, and they'll always be my favorite SHO rim, but they due get kinda of boring, and I want to do a brake upgrade, and 16" rims don't allow for it as well as 17s. I know the Enkei RS6 will fit and it's a nice rim, but I want to get Enkei Arashi's. They don't come in a 5*108 pattern. Is there a way to get rims without the holes milled, and get the holes set in 5*108 pattern so they'll fit a SHO?

Redrill your hubs for whatever bolt pattern you want.

Just make sure the wheel you want will fit offset-wise.

I want to use the 94-95 knuckles and what not. They have a 5*108 pattern. Could I get either the rim OR the hub assembly without lugs and get them made to match?

I have these on my car, and a few people have told me they look OK.

I thought about re-doing my hubs too, but chickened out at the cost of making the hubs, brakes etc, non-standard. Certainly possible though...

Good luck!

You don't really a 13 inch brake upgrade unless your car is a track car, you can save a bit of money by going with the Lincoln Continental bigger brake upgrade for under 200 bucks, so you can upgrade the brakes and keep a 16 inch slicer rim or other.

Go to www.tirerack.com give year and model and color and a profile picture of your car will come up along with all available rims for the car, now the cool part everytime you click on a rim that rim will appear on your car so you can view what it would look like, very very cool thing.

There was a member here named Keli, who was thinking about putting the Yamahamer into her cougar. Anywho, she wanted some rims that weren't available in her bolt pattern, so she had called the rim manufacturer and asked them to custom drill her bolt pattern into the rims she wanted.

They did. You should do a search by her username to find the post.

Cougars are such a joke. Not from the consumer standpoint, but from mercury's. They look as if they should be fast, or at least a quick ride, but the fastest 2002 model had less impressive stats than a 1.8t Jetta.

Good point on a thread about wheels. Anyways..

I dont know how much wheel companies like changing thier bolt patterns, I've talked to a couple of companies, and I didn't just out right ask if they would drill them for me, but they didnt really seem like they would do it. However, I am probably going to call at least one company back and ask, the worst they can say is no.
