Center Hub Widening Question

Can anyone recommend a shop in southern Maryland that can widen the center hub of some aluminum wheels by 1mm?

Do you mean opening up the center hole only? Ship Point Machine in Hollywood could make short work of that. 301-373-3121

Well, that didn't work out either. Ship Point has had my wheels since mid January, promising each week to get to them, but I finally had enough and picked them up today. They were sitting in the exact same spot where I left them. They kept telling me they were too busy with government work but promised promised promised they'd get to them by the weekend yet wouldn't call me back.

I feel your pain..you might have noticed a truck frame sitting forlornly outside the shop bay door on pallets? That's mine..been there for blasting. For over two months.
