A lot more than its worth, if you're just doin it to fit mags, trust me get mags that fit otherwise you're talking over $500. Approx a coupla hundred to do the front hubs, redrill disks, at least $400 for the rear, really unless you have another reason stick with gemi wheels...

From memory you cannot redrill the front hubs because there is not enough metal on the outter edge to support the larger stud pattern

That may be so, but Hoppers stoppers has a front hub machined up i'm sure you could buy one without the VX kit, but if you're gonna do it upgrade the brakes too... That was the problem with the rear axles, a ring had to be welded to them to give it more metal to put the 5 stud onto...
