I'd all KMC and let them know what his distributer is doing. How the hell could anyone balance those without seeing what is wrong.

hi ok well after hours on the phone and more pictures they finially agreed with me and they are sending me a new set of rockstars drilled with a single 5 x 5 pattern that looks the way it should .. it really is wheel pros fault for letting the unfinished wheels slip though and get sent to me . they are suppose to look like this here is a pic which i stillwouldnt be my frist choice with the double patttern drill i just dont like it. so they are going to special drill me a 5 x 5 wheel pros say to dont make just a 5x5 pattern but because of the hassle they are making me one. just have to wait till the end of the month . that sucks but they are giving me a nice discount like they should and said if i wanted to used these wheels till the new ones came in i could . so i think everything will be good ,just took ALOTE of work on my part . thanks for everyones comments that helped alote .

Thats better. It is cool they are drilling you a special set as I still don't dig the 'properly' drilled ones you just posted. Glad it finally got hashed out and I hope you got a real good deal on the proper ones.

That's a pure accident waiting to happen to some poor fool that puts it on.

I hope you've already contacted the dealer. I'd ask for a perk after getting those, someone is trying their best to kill you with a definite true DEATH WOBBLE!

Glad you got it resolved. Aint no way in the world I'd be using the dbl holed wheels, those holes would be stretched real fast, especially with alloy wheels. You need meat around the holes. Sheesh, I cannot believe those idiots.

Just imagine running a hemi with those wheels in rocks etc. Torque would wipe those in a hurry.

Still don't like the "properly drilled" wheels. I was really cosidering these, but no way I would trust the holes being that close together. Have to pick different wheels now
Glad they are going to drill you some special

Glad to hear that you got it your way.

But the pic of the "properly" drilled rims, is still messed up. If that's "properly drilled" in their dictionary, i wonder what "not properly drilled" would look like.

i agree i dont like the "properly drilled" hole pattern either .. just stupid and messy looking to me and not safe. i think their is such a high demand for the wheels their are in a hurry to get them out and not doing things the right way. i did call wheel pros directly and they claim that they are safe
