does anyone know anywhere i can get some wheels on a lathe? want to make the centre bore on some wheels a lil bit bigger (they're about 1-2mm too small :( didnt think of that when i got them!)

if i cant find a big enough lathe ill be needing some hubcentric spacers and take the centre of them down to fit the wheels.

would give me more options to make the wheels a lil bigger tho.
