Not on the VX but I did on my old Samurai. I just cut out a 1" collar & had a friend tack weld the pieces back together. The welds were below the surface of the rims so they didn't show. Those were on the back, the fronts didn't have center caps because of the locking hubs.
BTW they were the stock caps from the AR rims that we cut down.
The other question is about wheels that have a larger than stock centerbore. I've seen a few with 107mm and 110mm. The wheel thread says they work, but how to owners know they don't ever end up slightly off-center -- with some run-out? (Up/down movement)
Most wheels nowadays are lug centric. Very few (if any) are hub centric. That means that the lug nuts center the rim, not the hub. Running with larger hub openings will cause you no problems at all.
