So as some of you know I've recently been shopping around for some 22s for my M. Recently settled on 22x9.5 +35 rims that I bought from carid. When I got them they fit perfect with no mod necessary however 2 of the rims had scuffed polished lips!

I sent the 2 back (which is another story all together) but they just sent me an email saying my two replacement rims are going to be dual drilled! Probably some customers crappy returns.. why else would they be dual drilled for a different lug pattern? Does anyone here have any knowledge about if dual drilling damages the integrity of the hub or should it be ok? Should I demand that they send me single drilled rims instead?

Any input appreciated... thanks !! :squint:

Dual-drilled just means they have 10 lug holes instead of 5... so that one set of wheels can be fitted to a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and, say, a 5x120 bolt pattern car (saves on manufacturing costs).

Personally, I'd demand all-matching wheels, as I think dual-drilled wheels look cheap (they tend to be common for cheaper manufacturers).

Let us know how it works out!

p.s. Which wheels did you get?

i would start sending letters to the company, if you can see your lug nuts on the rim, you will have 5 hole son 2 rims and ten on the other. that would look weird in my opinion that is something you might see on a Honda civic not a infiniti.
