Anyone know of anywhere I can get some alloy wheels centre bore machined larger?

Preferably in Aberdeenshire somewhere.

Cheers for the help,
Scott

I gave up and used one of my works rather expensive machines to do wheels for myself years ago.

Its hard work trying to find someone interested in doing it as its not really worth their effort for the money.

Turriff tyres do it, they have a CNC machine just for wheels

Just for anyone interested in the future, Turriff tyres can do it and charge £20 per wheel.

Now to just get a hold of the boy selling the wheels!

Thanks for the offer John, much appreciated!

If I end up going ahead with my plans I may take you up on that offer, currently looking into selling the wheels and going down a different route.

Wish I'd thought of that before I bought them!!!!

STI wheels from an 05> plate Impreza, bore out the centres and they become a cheap 8J set of Enkeis.

Exact same as this: http://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=385586 (half way down the page)
