Anyone know a place in Atlanta that can re-drill some rim lug holes bigger?

I am wondering if anyone here knows a shop in Atlanta that can take a set of rims that are for all 3-series that are a standard 5x120 bolt pattern and the lug nut is 12mm, while my X3 lugs are 14mm. It's off by a hair. I need to see if a shop and just make the hole a little bigger so the lug nut can go through. The holes are obviously drilled so I can't see a problem with just widening the hole by a professional shop.

Thanks.

honestly that would be a pretty easy DIY job if you just go buy a 14mm or equivalent SAE sized tapered drill bit. the holes in the wheels are already drilled and have a conical seat to them so the bit would automatically center down into the hole, and the 2mm that you'd be removing wouldn't hurt anything at all as far as the actual seating surface is concerned.

otherwise, any machine shop could easily tackle that job for you i'm sure.

I ended up doing it myself. I called a racing shop and the dude told me the same thing you said. It wasn't worth paying the $200-300 that I got quoted today. It took about and hour or so to redo all the rims. The lugs fit perfect.
