Default changing a stud pattern on alloy wheels

say you had a bmw stud patterned wheel, but you wanted the holes sealed up & re-drilled to fit your ford, whats involved & would it be an expensive job?
who would do this aswell??

cheers

i'd be more inclined to change the hubs to suit if possible...i'd be paranoid about the wheel strength.

if your looking for a wheel like the datapost car then look on the Alfa Romeo they have a 5 clover type alloy in 5 stud, but you could do with hubs etc to do it, but i bet it could be done as theirs a mk3 cab on Porsche wheels

I would doubt that you would find anyone anywhere who would fill and redrill on an alloy component that sees these stresses.
