There was a guy who was a member here for a while, user name wheelkid, he hasn't been around here for a while, but I see he is still posting on HAMB. You might PM him on there and ask him the question. His Pop owned one of the major wheel companies at one time, and they still are involved to some degree, and he seemed to know his stuff when on here. Maybe he has the indexing machine and some simple UPS shipping might net you a drilled and possibly rewelded rim.
If he doesn't pan out, call some other wheel companies, and see if one of them will help you out. Most of these guys are rodders and will understand what you are trying to do.
Sorry to send you searching on brand X, but it is the only way I know for you to contact wheelkid.

How about slotting the holes?
I have changed the wheel patterns on many wheels by welding up the hubs (change # of holes) then redrill them, same with aluminum wheels( you should heat the aluminum to about 300*-350* before wheling). I have added a second bolt patern, and I have slotted the hole to a bigger or smaller patern, and then you don't have all the holes to show.
Just another way to do it.

Anyone can cut one up, but! only some can put it back together looking cool!
Steel is real, anyone can get a glass one.

What about having the holes elongated to a uni-lug,seems like a machine shop could handle that with ease.

I would not get the holes elongated as you may be asking for bigger problems. Could be hard to get the studs to lock down and then the wheel may slip and damage the wheel or the studs or both. Seen it happen.
There are wheel shops that can put the ford bolt circle in along the chevy bolt circle. Shouldn't be real expensive but you might want to check that before the first hole is drilled. And if done by a quality shop it should be good forever, just like a new dual bolt circle wheel. I would stay away from welding if possible.
