    BSA
    possibly Simmons
    possibly OTR
    Coastal?

    Any machine shop should be able to do it as well

    IIRC, when I was thinking about an 8mm slice off the hub on some BBS's it was about $35-$45 a wheel but they needed to see it to ascertain if there was enough metal on the hub to do it safely.

    Work out whether your offset is OK too - it won't be much more to get that sorted at the same time.

    As you haven't said what car you are putting them on, I can't even begin to guess.
