  View original topic: 5x112 redrill wheels question

I have found 2 jackman style white 14" wagon wheels for the late model bus, 5x112. I have lifted my bus a couple inches, and would like to have white spoke wheels. Jackmans haven't been around in a while, and the 5x112 are very hard to find. Here is the question:

If drums can be redrilled, why can't wheels? If I had a chevy pattern jackman, or a 4 lug vw pattern jackman wheel and wanted to have the holes welded and the wheel redrilled for 5x112, would it work? Who would do the work?

Basically, I would like the same jackman rim appearance, but made to fit the bus pattern. Or, does anyone know of any jackman's to fit the 5x112 pattern?

Thanks,
John

Your local Machine Shop can do it. They did mine for $120.

Thanks. I ended up finding a set of alloy spoke wheels that I will powder coat or paint white. Thanks!
