I went from 4.75 to 5"

As some of you know i picked up these centerline dragstars the other day. well i call the local machine shop to get the rotors/axles/drums redrilled. they referred me to another machine shop who specializes in changing bolt pattern. what they did was move each hole 1/8" outward on a fadal cnc. then, hardened steel knurled inserts were pressed into each hole. presto now i have a 5x5.0 pattern. the black under the lug is the insert. it looks a lot better than i thought it would. he says they are just as strong as before they were put in. this is the only operation this machine shop does by the way. i know it may be skeptical but it looked very good to me and they are holding up to the rubber burning 454 that i have so far. just thought you guys may want to see how it would look. it cost me 60$ for 4 rims and took a day to finish.
