take them to a machine shop, have them tig in the current bolt holes, then lathe it down, and redrill.

Oh, and yes it works
You might as well have them drill the wheels to the proper pattern. Its probably going to cost just as much, and you can still use stock rotors when you need to replace them rather than add cost each time.

Overhere good wheelshops get some wheels (the more expensive ones I guess 
) in as blanks, and they drill them to customer specs. So I guess they could do the rotors too. Mine are done by a machine shop, but by the previous owner.
