i have a set of 15x6 steel wheels in my garagae from a jeep wrangler that i no longer own. the bolt pattern is 5x114.3, so they won't fit on my 5x112 van. is it possible to knock out the centers of my van's steel wheels, and mate them with the jeep wheels? Lucas at GoWesty makes mention of something like this: "I took a set of original 14" VW Bus wheels, cut the welds and knocked out the centers, bought some 15x7" Pontiac "drop-center" rally wheels did the same. I threw away the VW outers, threw away the Pontiac centers, and installed the VW centers in the Pontiac outers, thus creating a 15x7" wheel for my VW camper." http://www.gowesty.com/wheelstiresinfo.html he makes it sound easy. i wonder if this is a cost effective way to get bigger wheels, considering i have both sets already. any idea wht kind of shop would do this for me? thanks! aaron '87 syncro gl
