You could try Berkshire Engineering located on Yorktown Business Park.

The owner made some spacer plates so I could fit my drag rims on the hub
to give clearance from brake calipers.

thanks stu, it's not too far if it proves to be tricky with local machine shops, just want somewhere that has previous experience. There are loads of cnc and fabricators in the aldershot area, just getting the right one. Think I will still get these rims and then work out this issue.

Could always drop them into me. We send them away as we do with a lot of wheels with centrebores being too small, happens quite a lot with the pickup trucks. Normally charge around 20quid ish a wheel. If your interested PM me.

Chevvy stu place I emailed and they don't do it.

Providing I can get them machined I am getting some 18'' rays from the 350z. Very light only 8kg each and look right I hope to replace the spiders. Which means they will be on all the time if handling improves like I hope. So tyre choice is my next thing, and think I'm going to try finding the new toyo R1-R a R888 with more wet grip app, or some thing like pilot cup but they are pricey.
