I purchased $4000 worth of chinese chrome on ebay. 245/70R19.5 Hankook DH01's on Vision Duallie Haulers.
The rims were intended to mate with 1/2" or 9/16" wheel bolts, not my 5/8" wheel bolts. Whilst seeking justice
through Paypals, "Buyer Protection", their resolution center dignitaries came to the conclusion that I was entitled
to a refund, though only after incurring a $600 shipping cost that I would not be compensated for.
To give some foresight into my dilemma, during a heated debate between myself and the seller, they had deliberately and
whole heartedly referred to 5/21's of an inch.
Now here I sit, looking to make the best of a truely whAt? up situation.
I'm not interested in changing my wheel bolt diameter, but I am engaging in reoccurring fantasies that include voiding the
manufactures warranty. Another 1/16" and there good to go. Has anyone ever drilled a rim with any luck?
I'm not planning on givin it the ole wallerin out with makita hammerdrill either. With a little research, I found I could get
whats called a step-down drillbit made that would start a few inches with a pilot to carry the bit plumb and true, then half way up, widen to 11/16" to handle business, but again any input would be greatly appreciated.
