IF YOUR TALKING ABOUT THE CENTER OF YOUR WHEELS, I WOULD TRY TO FIND A LOCAL WHEEL SHOP AND HAVE THEM BORED OUT. DOWN HERE IS LIKE 25$ A WHEEL. OTHER WISE I WOULD TALK TO A MACHINE SHOP

machine shop will be your best bet! not sure on price, but I can't see that costing more than $50 for all 4, probably wanna take to them without tires though to make thier life easy as well ensuring you don't lose a tire in the process!

Better make sure you have the correct lug nuts on your vehicle to hold the wheel on centered. I guarantee you that the bore is not round anymore if you freehanded it with a hand held router.
