<<   I just scored some sweet 16"  mercedes wheels on ebay to put on my 2wd 91
carrat. Problem is I need to recut the stud holes to accept taper set lugs.
Does any one on the list have the correct
countersink bit and 14mm drill bit they would be willing to lend to do this?
It'd be a big help.
Also any words of advice on doing this would be appreciated as well. >>




Dennis,


I have but a few words of advice: CNC machine them.


I've seen too many attempts at doing this manual with and w/o a drill press.
I've also lots of wheels ruined.
