OK, I  don't know why, I thought this would be fairly simple and fun, but
it is  turning into a royal PITA. I can't find a machine shop that will bore
out the  center hubs. As mentioned before, the first shop wants me to leave
the van, I  don't see the need and feel they are just trying to drive up the
bill ( one  listee told me he had this done and expect to pay 15-20 bucks a
rim-well I am  in the Washington DC area so I imagine double or even triple
that amount-God I  hate this area!) Two others have told me they "don't
have the equipment". From  what I read on this I assumed it was going to be no
big deal, now I am ready  to give up! Jeff

my local shop does them for $10 per wheel and ive taken so many audi  rims
there to have the centers bored so the guys already know what to  do.  he
even bores them to accept the carat centercap :)
