    A machine shop can, I've had it done. I've done it myself before too.

    Just take it to a Machine Shop, it's a simple and dirt cheap task. Especially if you are running a wide wheel with offset, hub-centric is important.

    Call Justin @ Industrial Services if you want to travel to this side of town 770-486-8444 Tell him Brian over on Kelly sent you..........

    If you were closer, I'd offer to do it for you as I'm certified in Milling and Lathing, but I doubt you want to come all the way down here to drop them off, go home, let me do them the next day, then drive back down to pick them up. lol

    Go to a machine shop, it should be cheap. Like everyone said, it's simple. To do it yourself, if it's a very little amount, I'd use a file with a radius on it, then use hubcentric rings.
