Sterad Posted December 1, 2009 Share If you prepared to alter the rim it can be done, depending if the rim has eyelets or not. If not you can drill 4mm holes in a 32 hole configuration. You will have to measure the circumference of the inner rim to get the spacing required between each hole. Some of the holes already there can be integrated into the new 32 hole drillings. The rest of the old 36 holes not being used can be filled in, and the rim resprayed. Bit of a mission but can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that amount of effort it would work out cheaper to just buy a new rim and in a few hours you could have a finished wheel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
