    anyone got a pair of narrow 15" slotmags they'd let go? Like 4.5" or 5"? 4-stud would be preferred and 4x100 would be perfect although any 4-stud pattern with enough material around the centrebore to redrill the wheels to 4x100 would do. i.e. a massive centrebore will prevent drilling a small...
