I would suggest #1 here. I personally wouldnt risk trying to shave the lug holes out because if you screw up even the slightest bit your new rims become worthless. If you bought them in a store swap em for the right pattern. If you got them elsewhere I'd see about trading them off or like Sean said, sell them and but the right pattern rims.

The rims look like they may have been professionally done. Don't try and do it yourself, not a very smart idea.

If you're good with the price professionally drilled is fine.

I think your really lucky. I don't think a shop anywhere around here would redrill rims due to liability.

i was getting mad...every shop i went to said it was impossible...or they couldn't do it...then headed to another and they told me the same "we don't do it, but ill give you the number to a machine shop that does rims"....i hit the spot!...

called them told me to bring them down..old guy chilling in a chair smoking...look inside the shop dude has rims to the max and machines to the max!...told him what i wanted and said yea i got...asked if it was safe and he looked at me and said ive been doing this my whole life!..haha..

shops gave me a price of 200 for all 4...guy charged me 70 for all of them!
