View AttachmentHi, yes they can, however there are particular requirements about who can modify them A wheel fitted to a low volume vehicle may be modified to provide a change in pitch circle diameter by re-drilling, elongating, or slotting of the wheel centre, provided that: (a) the modification incorporates either: (i) centering sleeves and washers to locate and secure the wheel; or (ii) in the case of an aluminium wheel, the drilling and pressing in of a steel insert to accept a tapered wheel nut or bolt; and (b) the modification is carried out by a person who meets the requirements specified below A wheel fitted to a low volume vehicle may be modified, provided that the modification is carried out by a person who is recognised by a low volume vehicle certifier as: (a) being competent and experienced in the type of work being undertaken; and (b) being professionally engaged in the wheel manufacturing or modification industry; and (c) having the necessary equipment to carry out the modifications safely. |
