Default Centre locking wheels/hubs

Ive seen some wheels I want, but they are centre lock only...
Where the hell can I buy some hubs?
Is it possible to get convertors from 5 stud?
I know fook all about them, so any info would help

if you know someone who can machine,, you could make your own easy enough

there is lots of different bore/taper sizes of centre locking hubs, so its best to have the wheels and machine the hubs to suit

Not as big a problem as I was originally thinking it would be
