I am and Engineer/machinist and I really wouldn't recommend adding holes to a wheel if it wasn't designed for them in the first place. I do all sorts of odd things for a couple of companies around here. 4 to 5 stud spacer conversions, wheel hub bores, I've even got a 140mm spacer for a kit car at the moment, but I wouldn't degrade the strength of a wheel under any circumstances. Just my 2 cents

you can redrill the hubs to put the studs on a 100mm PCD, but that's going to cost you more than the difference between different wheels!

which STi alloys are they?
I'm guess that are all the same and cleared away apart from around the bolt hole, something like this..
in which case I still stand that they can not be re-drilled. Well not with out being completely welded up so the holes can be put in the same orientation but on the new P.C.D.

To clarify, I am referring to moving the studs on the hubs, the bit the wheel bolts to. RCM have done this to fit their 100mm PCD dymag wheels on 05> hubs.
