Woof. If you weren’t worried about destroying the wheel then I think chiseling would’ve been faster.

We are finally done! Drilling is the way to go, a chisel was working but once I got to far into the lug nut hole I was damaging the wheel more, drilling is the way to go

This is what I did

I used a set of drill bits along with 2 cobalt drill bits, some chisels and a hammer. The most important tool for me was a StepBit. It was going through the metal easier then I would follow up with the drill bits swapping from small to big, then stepbit repeat.I had to be so dam patient especially with this Phx Az heat

Finally I can put the ?down. As bad as the rim looks I would have just gotten a plasma and cut the rim.
