Just wondering if anybody knows if its possible to have the center bore of alloys increased?

Ive seen some I would like to have for when I get another 5, there ment for a wv & have a center bore of only 56ml not the 61.5 thats needed.

Im thinking maybe a engineering frim could do something?

Has anybody got any ideas/opinions?

Thanks.

yes they can be done at a decent machine shop .
but you need 60.1 mm for a renault not 60.5

if the machine shop has'nt a lathe big enough ,it can be done with a milling machine:)

Im sure renault are 60.1 and vw is 57.1, ive machined a fair few hubs and new rear disks to fit bmw/vw wheels.

so what do you do to the brake discs as wouldnt these be "loose" if the hub has been machined down.?
