Unhappy Trigo wheels binding...

I'm using the knock-off pin-drive wheels manufactured by Trigo. My Wilwood hubs use the Chevy bolt pattern instead of the Ford pattern. The rear wheels are fine but the front wheels are a real pain in the a**. Apparently the bolt circle diameter used to drill the holes in the backside of the front wheels is slightly too small, so the pins will bind against the wheel. This makes installing and removing the wheels a real "cussing experience".

Does anyone else have this problem? How did you resolve it? I plan to call Trigo tomorrow and complain. I also plan to have the pins turned down to a slightly smaller diameter (again) at a local machine shop. I turned them down once already and the wheels still bind.

I'm still smiling, though...
