It would be a gross mistake to try it yourself. The holes need to be 100% accurate. If even one is slightly out it will stress the studs, possibly leading to breakage. If all are out (which is a 99.999% probability) the wheel will be off-center and will cause vibration. And the wheel will be ruined. I had a set of 18" wheels machined. It cost me $50NZ... around $35US.
