Since a lot of people on here run a wide variety of wheels..my question is what's everyone's opinion on re-drilling wheels as opposed to running adapters? Worth it? Not Worth it?

Depends in the wheels really. If they are expensive and are the size you want then go for it. Best if they have center covers like bbs rs or oz wheels. Redrilling won't really hurt the value because you're red rolling for a Subaru and those cars are common and someone will buy them if you don't want them any more. Not sure which one is cheaper though.

Thanks for the input everyone. I've been looking at some different three piece wheels and just weighing out my options. Center caps are a must.

i have seen wheels with out center caps with a clean fill n drill look fine. It really comes down to the widths and offsets, not what you feel like doing. Most of the time you really can only go one way or the other base on the wheels specs. If its a wide and low offset wheel already you cant run an adapter behind it. You have to fill n drill. If its wide and high offset you need adapters to kick the barrels away from the suspension.

When I was working at Varrstoen, we redrilled only up to 8MM and added inserts for a proper circular hole. Would look perfect and covers most common stuff. 5x100 > 5x108, 5x114.3>5x120 vice versa.

I'd be going from 5x114 to 5x100
