Default Alloy wheels - redrilling for 4x108 pcd possible?

Been wondering about getting some wheels but they never seem to come up in the 4x108 pcd and have long been out of production.

Is it possible to get alloys pcd redrilled if theres enough room as there usually 4 hole or can they
be welded up to be drilled?

Anyone done this or had it done recently and can recommend a firm.

Hi Mark, great old school wheels which really suit a Saff. They do come up for sale but not very often. I would be patient and keep looking as the idea of welding up and re-drilling a set of wheels would not be great and would probably cost a lot of money. I have the old style OZ racing Cronos wheels on my Saff and I was lucky to find a single one exactly the same as mine for the spare on E-Bay in Germany. Might be some Rondells available in Germany?

Cheers for the link, unfortunately its the 17" versions I'm after.

I keep looking out no dout if any do come up they will be on Facebook and as I don't have it I will probably miss em.

I get what your saying Richard, been offered some vauxhall ones cheap so was thinking it might be my only option.

Hi Mark, Have you tried E-Bay Germany? You could be lucky and find some on there. Which Vauxhall wheels are anything like genuine Rondell wheels?

Hi Mark , you are clever with the way you put the wheel on to your car. They would suit it just as much as the Rondells I reckon.Your Car is looking very clean and shiny!

Not exactly the same, but quite similar.
