    See a machine shop. It shouldnt cost much. The dearest bit maybe if you have to get the tyres off and on again at the local tyre shop, for them to setup the rim on the machine. Do a google search on the VE hub size and the Vnprs hub size and subtract them to see how much needs to come out. I beleive its around 6mm, or you could just vernier your current rims.
