how does the redrilling process work?

i am looking into brabus wheels and they are in 112. but of course, our japanese vehicles are 114.

when they drill, do they just open up the hole??

i think they just make a hole.. and i guess that will end up making the wheel compatable to vehicles with a 112/114 bolt pattern.... but i wont trust it..

from what i know.. i used have som racing hart wheels which had a center cap so you couldnt see the holes.. my friend bought them off ofme and go them re drilled and they look fine as the center caps cover the holes.. but if u were planning to do to wheels like the above one.. i dont think it possible as there is not enough space to do it and it will looks ghetto
i.e.
without center caps

with center caps on

.. usually these type of wheels.. its easier but i would still think its unsafe until and unless they come like that from the manufactures..
