There was someone on here who done it. Maybe Peter J or Joff I think :daumenhoch:

Peter J did do a thread on it and yes your right Terry i have done 4 or 5 sets in the past either for me or mates but tbh it's a time consuming job ::) All the time is in marking them out correctly , all the spoke nipple holes are not the same difference apart so finding the centre point for every drill hole is a ballache . I must say though when they are polished up they are awesome 8) My favourite wheels from bitd :smitten: ,I probably have 7/8 sets of them (5 original sets and 2 or 3 sets i have drilled)

They look pretty cool but there's something not quite right with that site John , no contact details ,and when you add the rims to the basket to checkout the site crashes :-\ Might just be this computer im on .
They would be ok for a NRP build/rider but i wouldn't stick them on an old school build myself .

I didn't get that far either - went for 80s rims
Just had a look though and the crashing bit didn't happen for me, might be of interest for the NRP massive dem
meticulous:
I always thought they were just araya 7X rims drilled out for mongoose by araya, heard the first ones were... ???
