jeez - it might be cheaper to buy new mags than get someone to modify the existing rims.?
there used to be this place in brisbane (wilson's wheel works) that did this kind of thing - but they've shifted from albion and i've never heard of them since.... maybe Syd has more shops that do this?
what you're asking is a substantial job:
remove exising rim edge
remove excess from inner core
re-align rim edge and attach
machine both sides of weld and fill any voids
machine rim edge for trueness in rotation
(and buy new rims if this gets botched big time)
if you're just trying to shift your car, get a cheap rim/rubber package from a tyre dealer - even jac's is now doing the povo bling+rims+rubber thing nowadays.
