Jeeees, what happened, you murdered some RS  centres? 

[Mr Blue]

Molested 

Just need to machine them back now and redrill to 4x100 like my fronts. Adaptors are sooo 2011 

[Roverdose]

no returns lol

[Jay]

What would Mr Blue be without the Blue? 

[SoundillusioN]

[thai-wronghorse]

Transparent?

[Lewy]

Adaptors are sooo 2011 

Butchered wheels are 2012?

Provided the correct filler rod was used and there wasn't too much heat to distort the centers, filling them like that is totally fine.
Turned on a lathe and then rebored to 4x100 again is totally fine if done properly. 

Kudos to getting it sorted out Mr Blue

Thanks Neo  Do you do machining?
Yes done my fronts this same way and CBF to run adaptors on the backs any more.
Heat was kept down by switching from wheel to wheel. Hopefuly I don't find air holes when it gets milled back (quite a big fill job)

The 4x100 PCD holes are still going through the original wheel material. The 'filling' is just doing its job. I've seen 4x100 redrills without the gap filled and a piss poor job from such a respectable engineering firm on another forum

I've seen some frankly terrifying work carried out by "professionals", but that's another thread .
My partner in crime is the CNC Guru, I'm better at the paint/fabrication and no longer have access to a lathe at the moment. If you're needing the centers turned down and or drilled to 4x100 drop me a PM so's not to clutter up your thread further and I'd be happy to check if he's got time to do it.
