Scored a set of these for cheap, and finally found a shop that will do the redrill for me. The only thing I need to know that I didn't see answered on this thread is about the lug nuts.
What style of lug nuts do I need to have the wheels drilled to accomodate? Factory lugnuts have washers and sit flat against the wheel, but I'm not sure if they will fit in the recessed type 95 wheel lug holes once redrilled cause they won't be centered anymore. If the factory ones don't fit, do I need to get cone seat lug nuts, and have the new lug holes tapered to fit cone seat lug nuts? What are you guys using?!

there are few types of spacers...there are thin little spacers with no pressed in studs that go 3mm and up....and there are spacers with pressed in studs...i think the smallest i've seen are 10mm spacers with the pressed in studs...with those spacers they have the same pcd all the way....(ex: 5x114 to 5x114)
adapters are like spacers but instead of having the same pcd all the way, it changes on the stud side....ex. 5x114 to 5x120(or any other pcd) in order to fit other types of wheels...in this case, the bmw wheels..

Here's my car on these wheels. I had them redrilled at Wheelflip. The price of redrilling is way less than getting spacers.
This pic below is my friend Young's car. He's super dumped on coilovers! He got his wheels redrilled by Ky from Boss Company

Your car looks clean with them. I guess the only "downside" to redrilling them is you lose out on your redrill money. I dont think people will pay more for redrilled wheel. Where as spacers you still sell it for nearly the same price.

Thanks man! I understand what you are saying. I just figured spending $150 to get redrilled was a better idea for myself since I plan on going just as low as my friend, Young. With the spacers/adapters, the fitment might be a little more aggressive than I would want. At the end, if I don't make my money back, I only lost out on $150
