just puttin me sparkly wheels on the car then an 2 holes in my rear hub have been de-threaded and so its only got 2 bolts holdin it on, how much is this to fix and is ot hard etc?

The only thing i can think of is using helicoils...
A local Engineering shop will does this for about £15
Only other thing is get another hub...

what are helicoils mate? and are drum prolleys expensive because a guy on PGAG said do that

Depending on how bad they are you will probably get away with running a tap down the holes and replacing the wheel bolts 
I am not sure "Helicoils" would withstand the torque required to hold your wheel on (Approx 120 NM) ??
Failing that i suggest you replace the hub itself but your talking cost then

Helical Inserts
Precision thread helical inserts were designed as a simple method of repairing stripped or damaged threads in any metal or plastic. It is better than using a tap because you are maintaining the original screw hole diameter as opposed to tapping a larger diameter hole with the same pitch as original thread. 18-8 Stainless Steel for strength and corrosion resistance. Single size repair kits contain a tap, tool and inserts for one thread size.

engineering firm charge alot of money so it is proberbly better to replace try local breakers if it is to expensive new.
