Don't know about other states but,
Take a closer look.
"Weld's or any other type of repair or modification on wholly cast wheels or cast structural component's of wheel's are unacceptable".
I also found that on car's equipped with diagonally split braking system, your not allowed to change the offset of your wheel's or change the track.
Look's like all Mk1's have to retain the ET45. Ha ha. Yeh right!

I did have my ticket a while ago.
You can also interperet a redrill as damage to a structural part of the rim & thus UnRWC.

Interesting to know, haven’t heard that before, guess the laws in SA are older since we don’t have RWC.
Also funny that you can buy new wheels as blanks and have them drilled to your desired stud pattern.

Yes, but you can also buy lowered spring's & alot of other product's that make your car illegal too.

"The wheel must be one designed for the particular hub/axle in respect to bolt pitch circle diameter & wheel nut tapers. Wheel with slotted stud holes are not permitted."
Interesting quote, In the case of VW, off the shelf wheels generally don’t have ball seated holes, is it legal to change the bolts to match the wheels?
You are correct that many illegal items are available for purchase, so like anything it’s up to the user if they choose to run these modifications.

I never thought you guys cared so much about what is road worthy or "legal".

Update!
Just found this in some of my paper work & it's a Vehicle Standard's Document.
