Found some rims I am keen on finally, though it would appear that the centre bore/hole on the rims are smaller than my current ones. Current rims being, 67.1mm and the ones I want, 64.1mm.
Assuming I need to get them bored out to the right size, who does this kind of work and at what cost? Prefer NOR.

Are your current wheels the factory wheels?

Current rims are factory Mazda rims, looking at some 8th Gen Civic Sports 17"s (I believe they also came on the EP3 Type R as well).

Anyone? :(
i know this guy does them but he's in bently-
Rob Faulkner at Perth Rim Repair
just about any machine shop would be able to do this, going on a quote i got from Rob for some work, im guessing he would charge about $200 or more, but give him a call to discuss.
check the wheel repair thread and give them a call and ask?

Correct any machine shop should be able to do it, just a matter of locating one. Lots of VT-VZ guys use VE wheels and have them milled to fit, about $50/wheel.

I've got a lathe big enough to turn them on, couldn't see it being a problem.

Did a bit of a search and found a few people who have got VE rims bored out to fit earlier models at a place in Cannington (Gommers Leo Engineering) for $35 a rim. Will confirm tomorrow :)

Leo Gommers is indeed cheap and fast, I use him quite a bit.
Performance Modifications in Osborne Park is also very good and is a bit further NOR for you.
