Hey guys, does anyone know where i am able to machine out the centre bore of some wheels and the rough cost of doing it? im located in Sydney.

Thanks, Nick

Try phoning a few general machine shops, they can usually be done on a CNC mill and some even do it on the larger lathes, it's not really a hard job to do.

Wonder how the wheel will hold up...too much meat taken away can be a very bad thing.

I know of many people doing it, i even know someone who has shaven about 3mm off the inner spokes (to clear calipers) and tracks the car with no problem.

The wheel has alot of 'meat' hence the need for machining..lol
i havnt bought the wheels yet, im just seeing whether its worth my while..

They are 15x6 Genuine minilite wheels if anyone is interested..

You can shave and cut all sorts of meat from alloy wheels and not effect them at all, or not enough to worry about in 99.9% of the driving you do, center bore adjustments are done all the time, and it will effect nothing, taking what is really tiny amounts off there.

And sorry, don't know any shops in Sydney.
