Drilling correct bolt patterns

[bikerboybenny8]

Alright so I bought black 10 inch rims from ombw thinking the bolt pattern would be the same as the chrome 10 inch rims, turns out they're not the same, anyone have a way of making a pattern or something of that nature to save me the hassle of shipping them back?? Anyone have any tips On how to go about drilling accurately? Anyone have any experience re-drilling bolt patterns??

The chrome one I got came from eBay and are not azusa rims.

Not that I have done this with a wheel but, I have done this with other things I needed the Bolt pattern for.

I made a metal template as a guide. Make your measurements exact. Center punch for your drill bitt.

Make the template, If it lines up, its pretty safe to use it to drill your part.

Nick did they cost as much as they do on OldMiniBikes?

No they didn't. I paid 35 shipped for both and they came with bearings.

Just curious, what pattern isn't the same?? The sprocket?

The 10 inch Asuza rims from OldMiniBikes aren't the same as the ones that nick posted in the link above, the four bolt holes surrounding the bearing are different, I didn't know that. I need to return the rims I got from OldMiniBikes and get the rims off of eBay. MUCH BETTER of a deal.
