You my friend are a special individual
😂
Everyone that wants to do this! Use transmission fluid to cool the bit.
One day someone will invent a spiral twist shaped long thing with a cutting tip especially for making holes. The countersink tool will be obselete overnight. I clicked the vid hoping to learn something. Instead I got a "how not to" video.
Got Craigslist rims. With tight centric ring, vibration is less to nothing. After 1 night next day vibration side to side from crawl to speeds up. My rim lug holes feel all chewed, thinking some loosen up and get off. Can this be done to just smooth out not widen size? Any bit or tool suggestions?
This is awesome, especially the ending. Don't take this down!
Hi,mi bought some alloys that had the wrong pcd in the advert. They are 110 and I needed 108. I bought some wobble bolts after reading about them in a forum. However when I went to fit the wheels I could only get 2 studs in. I then saw this and thought I would drill them out. But before I did I measured the stud hole diameter, they are already 14mm. Does this mean I need to drill them wider again?? If so how much by. Many thanks in advance
I have some 5x110 rim that I want on my Audi a4 b5 but pattern is 5x112. What size bit do I need and where do I buy it
not only is this a great way to mess up your rims, that is also the exact opposite of what to do when drilling metal. when drilling any metal, especially steel, you want to set the speed lower and apply a decent amount of downward pressure on the bit
And use oil!
@@swanknasty2527 yes, that too, especially with harder metals
These are aluminum wheels, less pressure for longer is ideal
What kind of bit did you use?? Should have left that in the description lol
Nice Harbor Freight drill.
anyone heard of a drill press and cutting oil.
Everyone dont have one at home
@@waynegreen6789 Can buy WD40 anywhere...
How did they hold after that ? Did it work ? How do you precisely center the rims if they are lug centric
He didnt. Its going to be a bumpy ride.
I used 5/8 counter sink in each hole to put 5x114.3 on 5x112 car. No shimmy or wobble 2yrs and mutiple diff sets. Works great
is this guy for real !!!
What is the tool your using called obviously not the drill lol I need this done on my wheels got told they were 5x100 but they can't be cause my car is 5x100 stud pattern
rip headphone users
Just use a bigger drill bit from the back of the wheel
Did it work for you no vibrations @70?
This is a horrible vid. No lubricant for the bit, drilling way to fast, and should be using a drill press.
awesome video!!
What size bit
shortcut here.instead of going through all that drilling and stuff just screw your lug nuts on a few threads deep and beat them into the position you need for each hole with a 5lb hammer. works every time
Spray a lip water while driving it helps on the friction
So excuse me for my stupidity, but i am looking at new alloy wheels for my car.
The wheels are 5x114 bolt pattern, but i need 5x115.
Is this the procedure for changing bolt patterns?
Preheat the wheel to "cherry red" prior to drilling. This will soften the metal.
When do they go on?!
you cant argue with results
need cutting oil... nice job
Can I do this to make my wheels fit my s10? The rims lug pattern Is a little wider than the truck
This guy says, "Why not?"
Wow!
Industry standard?
This looks as if it should be a proper machining job. Probably best done on a milling machine or a radial arm drill
im just saying... you could put a foam pad underneath it to cushion it... and it might not be so damn noisy with vibrating metal against concrete/hard surface...
This guy is to drilling rims what I am to astrology.
DAFUQ IS ASTROLOGY?
As a wheel company who does professional Redrills, do not do this please. We'll give you a discount to not do this. 🤦♂️
FM Wheels what’s up need my 12mm drilled to 14mm. In Houston. Lmk
@@iikingstav We are in california, contact us at sales@fm-wheels.com and you can ship the wheels to us.
You need a drill bit. And if you can get a drill press. Then Add some damn cutting oil on it, and make sure the drill bit is sharp. It may get stuck but not near that much.
i gotta do this tomorrow to my new wheels. doesn't seem to hard though. thanks for the guide.
I hope you went into a shop
Did it work ?
@@Daniel-jk9gehe probably broke his wheels and crashed. 😢
Boelube man!
That was hilarious!!!!! It takes some guts to post a video and leave yourself open to scrutiny, but I believe you just about did everything wrong. My favorite part was that beat you had going with the hammer and countersink.
All that to play a tune ?
Is this safe with custom wheels
+draper anderson as safe as running incorrect pcd wheels get.
Metal butchery. I can guess where the fatigue cracks will start.
nice wind chime
Heard of a drill press?
FATPIE Heard of a DRILL!? Dude is using a countersink bit. (Used for chamfering/beveling) Also, you wouldn't need to spin it faster when it "gets stuck." You'd want to press harder and make a larger chip. High speed and low feed is just rubbing and creating a lot of heat.
WoooooHooo?
How accurate is that? Isn't SAFETY a concern? Seems like the drill will wander around in the hole throwing the center of the hole off in some random direction...each hole will do the same thing and when you are done you will have 5 holes in some random, kinda close bolt circle....and the studs will not center properly. How about getting Lug Man to throw that on the CNC machine and drill them with .005inch tolerances? That wheel is going to shake n VIBRATE when you drive your car!
Lugmanusa because nobody with a Cnc machine and 1/2 a brain. Would touch those nasty wheels.
Some guy had some wheels looked good then I took them off and realized they had oval shaped holes. I find this video and realized this is why that happened.
These look just like the wheels I just picked up today and they’re not fitting on my car. They’re the same bolt pattern as my oem wheels but they’re not sliding right on man
Probably the hub size.
Merc have a bore size of 66.6mm and Audi 57.1mm
Some Audi are 5x112 and some 5x100 and Merc are 5x112 bolt pattern.
You can put Merc alloys on an Audi with the same 5x112 so long as you use reducer Spigot Rings to balance the size.
Sounds like you are trying to fit Audi (or related VAG make) wheels on a Merc.
More cowbell!!!
I'm assuming an actual drill bit and some drilling lube would work a lot better lol
The countersink is not the best way. I just used a 5/8th drill bit, and it was way less work. It pretty much lined itself up and just widened the hole.
If you're using the lowest end drill on the market, a real drill will work wonders huh? ;-)
Why didn't you use some kind of oil?
is this safe??
Karson Gibbs never no way any day.
Useing some lube like wd-40 or similer might help it from getting stuck.
Haaaa Haaaa ! Do it this way if you wana take all week
This has to be a spoof video. Come on! All the way down to the $14 Harbor Freight drill....
So, what size hole was achieved here? Looks rather large for a lug nut.
Watch this video 20 more times....
Title should be what NOT TO DO TO YOUR WHEELS , take them to a machine shop and have them drilled precisely. It's worth the 100 bucks. Holes must be drilled , teamed to size then chamfered.
You cant buy the proper tooling bits cheaper then what a machinist would charge
Awesome !!...Once Again Folks !!! Another Video On DANGEROUS STUPIDITY!!!
queue the music please. haha
I couldn't help but laugh my ass off when he pulled out the hammer, but hey we all wanna save money instead of being charged hundreds of dollars for something that should be worth $20 for a professional to do...but in this economy everyone overprices everything like some asses
that's not a drill bit man! what a waste of some good rims!
ta04trf No, those wheels with ten holes are all garbage.
He died on first drive out
You made me laugh so hard
E36 Racer some one will die if those wheels are ever used.
I just can't with people sometimes.
"Use faster speed to prevent the bit to being stuck" Hahahaha that was more than funny...
I guess this guy has no idea that the drill can go backwards/reverse mode.... "invented specially for when the drill bit gets stuck"...
This is a video of what not to do
Spend the $100 bucks and do it right the FIRST time, man. You're gonna spend $10 on a drill bit and wd40 and keep your fingers crossed the first you drive your car to show off you rims to your buddy.
Anyone else laughing?
Use oil way easier
ok uh... why say hold it straight and show this? okay so... your tool... "as short as possible, as long as necessary". try using a shorter tool. use cutting fluid... if you don't have any, you can actually use cooking lard like crisco. actually works brilliantly on aluminium. now comes the important part... drilling with a chamfering tool is weird, to say the least. you should use an actual drill bit and a drill press. if you are concerned about using an actual twist drill, go for a step drill. if you have a step that will work as a "pilot" (like a centering pin, as the center of your chamfering bit is doing, really), then the subsequent "steps" will open to a diameter you can work with. without a drillpress, you have to have more steady hands, and an idea as to how to feed (amount of pressure you're applying to the drill)
just as a note, your drill should only be turning at 1,100 rpm, and that's using a relatively conservative chip load.
anyway, as a whole, this video scared me....
$3000 wheel, $5 job
😆
That hurt to watch!!!
Bodgery.
Yeah don’t watch this video.. pay a machinist like my self.. or have have decent tools. Your on the road with other people ya know maybe with kids in there cars
What a joke. Find a press and apply cutting oil, before you go deaf!
Jesus Christ this is insanity.
You have the blackest hands I have ever seen.
Waste of time just sell them and buy some that fit
Sam Moxham not exactly waste of time. If you get a good deal one them or if they are rare wheels
Some rims if you change tire size you got do that
