Getting alloys machined to fit

Post by tobzman »

I've just picked up a set of audi A6 rims for my van and I need to get the centre bores machined out to fit. Has anybody had this done and what sort of place have you approached for the job? I'm in the cambridge area so if anybody knows of anywhere local to me that would be great.

Cheers
