thats a sweet set of rims I would love to put them on PJ but Im pretty sure I would end up sleeping in PJ

and I would guess a lift kit or extreme bashing would be needed to fit them

ok I asked the questions on ebay about drilling and whell nuts that fit
the wheels were drilled by the manufacturer of the wheels (BSA Motorsports) and the standard wheel nuts will fit
thanks
so they were drilled from blanks and standard wheel nuts will fit

eww they look like some kind of manufacturing defect has occured. Either that or a birth defect in the designer's brain.
But, of course it's all relative to people's individual taste. If you like them good luck to you :)

Im more interested in the fact that there are blank wheels out there that can be drilled with the 4 x 140mm stud pattern

But im going 5 stud, so i wont be buying any

yeh thats the way. If you are able to justify spending the money to buy brand new wheels then no doubt you could also afford to put in a Crossbred kit to upgrade to 5stud, and massively upgrade your brakes at the same time. Then you have your choice of heaps of rims without having to look for blank non-drilled ones.
