Default drilling bigger bolt holes from 5x112 to 5x114.3

I want a wheel in a certain color but it only comes in 5x112 so the manufacturer suggested they manually drill bigger holes for me.

Has anyone gone through this process? Would like some advice regarding this issue. Thanks!

you want the process to be exact, more so than a regular joe might be able to do at home with a drill. I suggest taking it to a machine shop

Professionals can easily do it. You could also use wobble lug nuts and avoid the while situation (altho they don't make locking wobble lugs).
