Default re-drilling wheels

over the last few weeks ive heard about people having wheels drilled to fit their stud patern. ive found a set of wheels (compomotive) which are 4 stud,similar offset but the completely wrong patern. can i get these drilled to 4x108? if so where and how much would i be looking at?thanks

if youre dead set on these wheels it'd be a better idea to have the hubs redrilled or even have some custom ones made up with the correct pcd, however this would make the wheels a very expensive option unless you got friends in the know who could make the hubs for you.

i personally would nver drill a set of wheels ,

too much of a risk on such an important part .

if they mean taht much to u , sell the set u got and buy them in the right pcd /offset ?
