For anyone interested in this topic, i just put a new set of WM Statesman rims on my VS.
For anyone that has tried to do this before knows about the little tapered lip on the newer rims that make the hub size 5mm smaller in diameter.
I tried a few different things that i read up about online: hand file, small grinding stone attachment for a drill, sanding bits and a router.
Using a router with a Ball Bearing Guided bit worked perfectly. You literally can feel no hight different in the surfaces.
I STRONGLY recommend using this method if you have access to a router rather then paying someone $60 a rim to do it or risking it/wasting time doing it by hand.
I used a router bit similar to this one:
Technical Name: Shear Cutting Flush Trim Bit
You should be able to pick these up from any decent hardware store (Bunnings etc).
All the other methods ended up either failing in the end or just being to messy/taking to long.
The end result!: (Perfect!)
Anyway hope this can be of help to someone and save them some time! =)
