Can get this machined out? to a bigger size? or will it weaken the wheel?

I like VW style wheels but my choice is limited by centre bore....BBS's don't weigh shit lol

Dont see why not, so long as you find a machine shop that can do it.

Yes it's possible. however the centre bore ideally needs to locate on hub. This enables the wheel to self centre. Opening bore could mean your wheel gets bolted up out of true, causing vibrations and bad handling.

VW wheels have a smaller centre bore.....thus needing it machined to 60.1 to get them on the hub.

Where could I get this done?

Is the pcd the same as Renault, because I didnt think it was? Thats more likely to be a problem than the centre bore.

Any engineering company could do this. Just have to clock the bore true and open it out.
