FWIW  I got a quote of $25 to get all 20 of my MB knock off alloy
wheel holes reamed out from 12mm to 9/16" by a local tooling
shop.  You ARE talking about 4 holes getting drilled right?  Maybe
there's welding involved who knows?

For the time you've put into chasing down the new audi parts etc, and
the $130 for this trip to the machine shop, that $600 kit is sounding
better and better.

YMMV
