bolt pattern changing

Ok guys, here's a good problem for you...

in 1996 I bought my wheels for my truck and put them on the shelf... today I took them down and mounted the tires to put them on... first one o.k. second one had the wrong bolt pattern.. it's a chevy wheel.. I called the mfg and the wheel is no longer made and they can offer no option other than fill the holes and redrill for the right pattern...

first I don't know if there is enough meat in the center to do that the way the wheel is made...it's kinda of a swirl spoke wheel...

second... where can you find someone who can do this and give me a true running wheel ???


to say I'm upset is an understatement...
any takers ????

thanks

john

John; You did not say if it was a front wheel or rear. I know you have just installed a Mustang ifs so I a thinkinf front. I don't know if this is an option or not but there is a manufacter up here in Canada that offers 11" hubs in both Ford and G.M. bolt patterns. Their website is www.macgyvers.com
