Was just browsing the bay of E, found a nice set of 5 spokes Revo's, but they're Ford fitment. How hard/expensive is it to get wheels redrilled to fit, as they're bargain money and local enough for me to pickup. Ta

A good engineering company will do the job but they will charge for it unless you know them and can get it done cheap.

I guess it depends if you need to plug the old holes first.

Having the hubs redrilled is probably easier, as long as they can take the extra holes.

Problem with coverting your hubs is that all your old wheels no longer fit.

whether the hubs can be redrilled depends upon their strength. Adaptors would be the easiest route.

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts
