What about a set of 5x112mm for the folks located in Europe? So you can use Audi/ VW/ Mercedes - wheels...

I can make the 5x120 for BMW pattern or even 5x130 for the old porsche pattern.
Whatever you want.

hmm... a friend of mine has a nice set of BBS 3-piece wheels lying around from a Porsche, 8+10Jx16 with the 5x130 pattern.
Would require some heavy cutting at the rear'...

Any updates Daniel? To remove the front studs, you just press them out? Can they be knocked out with a large hammer?

Knock them out, but put a piece of wood (or similar) in between the mallet and the stud or you will get distorted threads in the nose of the studs.

Thanks a lot for that tip Matz. I would have figured a press would have been necessary since I have 0 personal experience

A press is too slow and will quite often bend the stud before it pops out.
