Does anyone know if i could order



from 5zigen but with no lug holes drilled or anything. just like the normal wheel but with a solid center and the ship it to one lug wheels ( http://www.onelugwheels.com/index.html ) To get them to drill their one hole like this?



I love the clean one lug look but I like the ZR+520 just as much... none of one lug wheels appeal that much to me.

OHI thought your nickname was "electrical leak" (re-read my previous response) LOL!

Anyway, your battery has no charge or it gets no charge? It sounds like you don't know what you are talking about. If it gets no charge, then it's obviously your alternator (duh ) sans maybe the wires are all busted (obvious to notice)

If it has no charge, then its probably your alternator or maybe you just have an old battery. Either way, you have to buy a battery followed by most likely a alternator. Good job, BTW...

I'm not trying to be a d!ck or anything I'm just asking a question! besides I don't think 5Zigen would sell you the wheels with no holes!you would be better off having them custom-made.

Haha - i got ya now - but on the serious note of getting the dos cuatro. . .0. . .running - it has no charge - as in - negative cable wasn't fully connected the first day i got it off stands and when it came off it studdered the car and the connected, you know the effect. Anyway - re connected it and now it is getting no charge (besides with battery charger).

Could alternator not be charging because of bad positive post connection - i noticed it was a bit loose, but enough to start the car. . .

Change the negative cable all the way from the starter motor back to the chassis ground and then to the battery post and get a new lug for it. Then you can try a jump start and see whats really going on.

Just a thought-Maybe when the negative cable came loose, it touched the positive side and arced...

I will take blame - i didn't inform ya with enough info - the car had been doing it since before i began work on the car - before the cables were off and going down the road. . .

Yeah but couldn't the size of the hole actually determine the type of hole?

Just so you know, 7 holes is the limit, beyond that it's anyone's guess...

SO like I said...

Cable replacement first. If still a problem, take battery in for inspection or try and charge it yourself, then alternator. Logic: It follows!

new battery though. . .i figured out how to beat the system.

Go to junkyards and grab an old battery - pay 10, make sure 3 year warranty isn't out and go get another from wal mart for free

Replace the cable first, smart guy. Don't skip steps! You're the one who said the cable was faulty, do it right! For once don't follow the standard 240 cheap-*** method and get it all done the way you would expect a professional to do it!

Also, Wal-Mart will probably just charge the battery you get from the junkyard and send you packing. Once again you are doing it wrong!
