sure the goal is to get a hole so dirt can escape. On pre-glued wheels I just use some small wire cutter-type snips and cut a small v-shape. Some of the holes I felt were too big but don't seem to affect performance very much if at all. But I'm not good enough to tell anyway

AKA stuff seems legit; I run a few of their tires and rims and really like them.
