    I seen a VS ute running 6 piston AP Racing calipers and Billit rims, where to fit the rims they had to shave the calipers .

    Had some comments about the redrilling being done very nicely. Looks very pro What else did you do to those rims, if you may recall?

    Pics after a very thorough cleaning:



    Big smile on my face right now, but have some pretty sore fingers.

    Its the way of the future! You may as well move production to china voluntarily now instead of going bankrupt and waiting for the chinese to buy u out.
