I have four 17'x7 motegi traklites in flat black that I was trying to sell but since nobody wants them, I am now looking into whether or not it is possible to have them drilled out to 4x108? They have a 42mm offset so they would fit if it could be done. If it can be done, what kind of shop would be able to do it? Any help would be appreciated.
 
What lug nut pattern(s) is on the wheel now?

Also, is there a lug cover or are the lug nuts exposed? I tried searching for the wheel and it appears to have the lugs exposed. I know with my Axis wheels that were originally a dual 4 lug pattern that had to be custom drilled by Axis, they looked pretty unappealing after they were custom drilled and had alignment spacers put in. Luckily, there is a cover over the lug nuts so you never see it. Something to consider if you don't have a cover. Might not look the most appealing.

Did you run a search online for companies that custom drill wheels?
 
Right now, the lug pattern is 4x100. I don't know what you mean by covered lugs so here is a picture of them:

BTW, I don't care TOO much about looks. I like these wheels because they are 17' and only 14.0lbs each

This is what I mean by lug nut covers...like on my Axis wheels.

If you don't care what it looks like as long as its functional, then go for it. :)
 
Some wheels can be machined, but I don't think that the track lights can be. There just isn't enough metal to take some off and have decent integrity. If you want stupid light wheels, centerlines are light. Also, check out tire rack. If you call them up, they can tell you about stuff that they won't have on their website such as custom three piece wheels and kosi blanks. They don't always have stuff like that available, so it is good to check back from time to time.
