I'm sorry I can not give you specific instructions, I will advise that those holes drilled has to be spaced exactly the same apart. If they are off you will throw the balance of the wheel off. My wheels are done and they are positioned so that the screw is sitting in the middle of the rim seal point.

build a template out of paper that is the same diameter as the inside of your rim. fold it in half as many times as you need to get enough marks for your screws.transfer the template to a piece of cardboard so it is more rigid.use a center punch to get a starting point so the drill bit doesnt walk and mar the rim. put in all the screws and take them out.file the edges of the holes to remove the burrs.after the tires have been mounted put the screws in and have them balanced.thats what i did with my new pro stars and they turned out great
