Does anyone know if it's possible to re drill steel wheels? I have a set of 13" steels that need to be 4" pcd ( 114.3mm at the moment ) and want to get them re drilled.

Or if someone has 13" steels to fit a Morris Minor... :lol:

yeah you can get them re drilled i did this to my set of mags but you must get the old holes welded up. i got a engineer to do mine and then got a professional welder to weld up the old holes.

I put Austin A30s on a `77 Moke... they were 13x3... :shock: :lol:

No you can't redrill steels, they are press formed to suit their particular PCD when made.
You can get many alloy wheels redrilled though, they are usually solid centre.

That's what I thought :? Bugger... do you know of any other 13" wheels that would fit the Minor pcd? Only reason I'm doing 13s is because I have tyres, whitewalls, trim rings and hubcaps for 13's... a bit expensive to change size :P

I would put a set of Superlight 13x6 or something on a Minor. :wink:
My mate (Minor 1000 addict) runs Morris Major wheels on his now, they are 14". Better choice of tyres he says.

How soon do you need them. I know of a low light morry with either 5" or 6" x 13" rims on it. It is in a country wrecking yard that I will be visiting soon . Can check them out and let you know. The one in my pic had 7" and 8" x 13" holden stud pattern with 289 ford
