Machinist to increase ET on 20” wheels.

Hi all
Anyone have any recommendations for wheel machinists in Hampshire, ideally Portsmouth, but I’m prepared to travel a bit.
Thanks

They aren't that close to you (Chelmsford) but TT Tools are experienced in wheel machining.

TT Tools - custom alloy wheel drilling and custom wheel spacers

Thank you. If I can’t find anyone local I will ship. Cheers for the info.

How about trying an alloy wheel refurb outfit? They machine the diamond cut faces of damaged wheels

Need to be careful with how much you want to take off. A lot of wheels are drilled from blanks so the amount of metal between the mounting face of the wheel and the seat for the bolt (the depth of the bolthole) is usually the same no matter what the offset is. It's not like there a whole lot of extra metal there on wheels with low offsets.

I’ll still be within spec. Check with manufacturer.
Thanks
