has this been done with any degree of success on a pair of standard rims without fooking them completely, not that hard surely?? :)

:) Seems to be quite a trend amongst new school freestyle kids,prob for "weight loss.One of the locals has done it on an old Sun rim with no probs so far...

If it's for a rider and you're not bothered about preserving the rims then sure why not.... but i've seen some araya rims over on BMXMUSEUM.COM in decent shape get butcherised with pro-class holes and i think they'd have been better left alone.
Here's a pic from the site - there's others up there as well (link below pic) :

The thread is also good for general Araya rim info / dates etc.
