    ...why? that offset is helping the width of your car. go take some corners.

    im not sure this is really the option you need.

    Just put the ones ya have up for sale and get the ones with the right offset. For the money you'll have invested in the machining, you could probably get new and still be ahead...

    But I would think any machine shop (non-automotive) would be able to do it.. Look in the yellow pages and start calling, I would also expect you to meet some resistance to someone doing it because of liability issues, since you're basically weakening the mount..

    yea, i would def do that first and see what you get. machining the inside of the wheel to gain offset sounds like a good idea, but i agree, it might weaken the integrety of the wheel. prob not enough to matter, but safe than sorry is what i always hear. haha.
