Ignore everything I said, those wheels look dangerous!  :shocked:

In your pic it looks like you have two sets of holes, no way they were manufactured like that, you say they came like that, surely second and then and not from a supplier, the secondary bolt holes overlap the originals.  From what I see the wheels are fit for nothing but the bin!

Looks crap tbh, I am no expert and maybe they will be ok but I think you should have more metal around the bolt holes for strength.  :undecided:

 :shocked: WtF why didn't they redrill them centrally between the original 4 I personally don't like that.

On further investigation looks like it's not redrilled though  :shocked:

found with a google image search

yea. the sharp edges and burrs havent even been removed. If they are redrilled, they could have at least put the holes between the other ones, like with adapters
