Ok I got bored and figured I'd make a write up on how to drill mag rims since ther isn't one.
The hardest part I found was making the templates because of the spacing measurements because I like when the holes go from small to big.
The jig fits in nice and tight
I start by lightly applying pressure to give it a small concave marking
As you can see they all have a small dimple to mark location
All holes drilled with a small bit to start with
Pilot holes all drilled
Decided for smallest hole to be 5/16 but drilled all holes that size for easier drilling
For the next hole I went to a bigger bit
Get the idea? Just continue the process until you get the desires affect.
From my experience and research the wheels hold up just fine. And as for balancing, they all balanced out just fine.
