Work Euroline refinishing/ refilling

Here is the deal, I have a set of Euroline Dh's on my ride now that I love. I guess they do not make the diamond cut anymore which is why i wold hate to get rid of them. They have minor curb rash from the wife ( I know that was my first and last mistake :)) that I would like to get fixed, but I am also thinking about switching cars. Right now they are a 5X100/4X100, is there anyway of refilling the holes and redrilling them over to the 5X114 pattern that I need now. And if so, who does it? Thanks in advance

No, you can't redrill 9 bolt wheels, I've looked into it. They said it wouldn't be safe.

Adapters, check the net for local wheel repair shops in your area i have read price vary from 75-150 a wheel. But some don't re anondize and coat the lip. they will just remove all the anondizing and polish the lip after repairing the curb rash.

Yea wheel adapters would be the only route. I hear ya about the silver polish finish attempting to get them done. My 1st set of silver polish Eurolines were ruined when this reputable shop attempted to fix the faces and they couldn't repair the center caps. The center caps were original finish and the refinished faces didn't mach up.

I hear you on that, lucky for me it is just some minor curb rash on the edge of the lip, nothing major I just hate looking at it. I do need to call Work on monday and see if I can get a new center cap thou, one is sort of dented alittle. I am scared thou because mine are diamound cut faces and I think they don't make those anymore :(

Is it dented from overtightening the center cap bolt? It happens, and it'll happen again on the new one, just live with it. If you don't tighten it enough, then a bolt may possibly come off and your center cap will spin around on the wheel face and you'll have to get that refinished, this was a reason for why I got one of my wheels refinished. :( As for diamond cut faces, isn't that just a fancy name for silver polish? They still sell the silver polish replacement caps.
