    Wheel Center bore?

    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.

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