So it seems as if there has been questions of the strength of a wheel that has been bored, well I've had some real world testing done and have come to the conclusion that anyone that doubts the integrity of the rim post boring is flat wrong.
I was involved in an accident 2 1/2 months ago where I was hit on the right rear tire causing the tire to blow out, the rim lip to break off, the rear end to get ripped out if the truck and the truck flipped onto the left side. And the silverado rims I bored in my garage with a diablo bit on a plywood table without even removing the tires? Well the one that was hit stayed bolted onto
the axle without a trace of lug damage. The truck was totaled. I'll see I I can upload some pictures as proof and put to rest the question of if boring at home is an issue.
