Might try SRM Engineering in Wales for this. Last winter I sent two Falcone hubs to them and although it took about twice the quoted turn-around time (4 wks. vs. 2 wks.) it was certainly worth the wait. They custom-drilled Spanish "Morad" rims (virtually indistinguishable from Borrani) and laced them onto the hubs with stainless-steel spokes and nickle-plated brass nipples for $540 including shipping both ways. The workmanship is top notch and they look beautiful!
Sources in the US either chose not to respond to my inquiries or couldn't get the rims the customer wanted. In any case it likely would have cost quite a bit more. If anyone wants the contact info. for SRM, I'll post it. Cheers,
Charlie
