WTF?! oz rally wheels
I was told they fit my ES... now I get them and they don't fit?! What the hell?!

Damnit. Is there anyway to fix this little problem?

No I dont believe so if the 04 es is like the 03 es you have a 4 lug pattern and the oz wheels are 5 lug. So I would try and sell them if I were you!

Can I get a machine shop or something to help me out, or I guess what I am asking is there any way at all to get these to fit? If not I'll submit but I want these wheels on my car dangit (I'm quite stubborn sometimes).

it won't be cheap. at best, you could replace the hubs on the front, with those from an OZ, and the brake assemblies on the rear. This assumes that everything is a direct swap. It could go as far as needing new driveshafts and the full suspension from an OZ

I'm so annoyed... I really like the OZ wheels, and I wanted them on my car...

So I could try calling a wrecking yard to check for hubs from OZ and brake assemblies also? Would it be completely insane to do some drilling/welding on the wheels so they are the correct size? I mean by a professional of course...

No what I mean is drill the hole so it is in the right spot and fill the rest in with a good weld. So it'll be circular still, just holes relocated to the 4 x 100 bolt pattern...

There are shops out there that can redrill bolt patters on hubs, but it's not going to be cheap.

I just really like the look of them, plus they are pretty lightweight, which is a bonus.
