Default Steel lug inserts for magnesium wheels

Where can I have steel inserts installed in a set of magnesium wheels?

I am referring to the steel insert typically installed in racing wheels.

Thanks,
Rex

Don't remember which, but one supplier sells a specially ground bit made for their inserts. It's pricey, but a lot cheaper than machine shop labor.
I'll try to find the info.
