Mag wheel problem HELP!!!!

My truck came with aftermarket aluminum wheels and tires. Went to put center caps on and noticed that the lugnuts were typical beveled style but the wheels use a shank style lugnut. I measured the thickness of the wheel, and searched on line for the lugs. ALL the lugs had shanks of .68 diameter. I ordered the lugs and when they arrived I found out the holes in the wheels are .62 ! No one sells .62 lugs, So the question is how to increase the diameter of the lug holes in the wheel. (If i cut the lugnuts down they will rust in the wheel). Thought about using a "hand held" adjustable reamer, but worry about getting the holes on center. It would be cost prohibitive to send them to a machine shop to have 24 holes done (even if they could figure out how to hold the wheels. Any input?????????
