I am intetested in a set of alloys that have been redrilled so they fit a different pcd. My question is, would they alloy be 100% safe for everyday use or would you stay clear of them?
Thanks.
Re-drilled alloys; are they safe?

Depends on who and how they did the re-drilling. i have seen some professional work where the centre was welded up and then re drilled, and then i saw the type where they just re-drilled without welding.

can be safe, just depends on many factors. like if the rear pad is solid (not have holes in) if there are any other holes round the wheel. if they are not being welded up completely. then the different stud patterns cannot clash.
i've seen many a good safe job, some which look horrendous but actually are still safe. and some
clearly unsafe ones. its common practice of aftermarket wheels to me dual drilled.
