    Wheel workshops in VIC for boring out lug holes

    well wobble bolts need a clearance of atleast 15.8mm to allow enough play to mount the wheels.
    These wheels are unfortunately only 14mm so i was just wondering if you guys know any places to drill out the holes and possibly what price.

    thanks in advance!

    Why exactly do you want a 15.8 hole in a 5x114? Wheel...?

    I had my Rays wheels bored out from M12 to M14 at Eastern Wheel Works. Friendly, helpful and reasonably priced too.

    I'm using wobble bolts and they need that extra bit for clearance to be bolted in properly
