    Default Wheel center bore, who can make it bigger?

    Ok so I ran into a stipulation with my new wheels. Normally, wheel manufactures will make the hub center largest as possible to clear just about any vehicle and then you go get hub-centric rings to make it flush. Mines however are slightly too small. The center bore of the wheels fall short a few cm, so they won't sit flush against the hub/spindle.

    My question is, is there anyone that can bore out the center of my wheels slightly larger so they will clear?

    If this is confusing, then let me put it like this. On any wheel, there is a hole in the middle where the center cap goes, this is the hole that I'm talking about, it's slightly too small and won't clear my spindle/hub.

    interesting, that's exactly how mines are. I only need a little bit shaved off to fit. I don't want to attempt that myself though, so is there anyone or a place I can take it to?
