How are you shaving these? a machine shop I assume? Cause that is the only correct way to do it. By the time you pay a machine shop to set up their machines and shave 3 mm you might as well have sold these and bought new ones..

If it were me, I personally wouldnt do it.

LOOOOOOL, you know the wheels are machined at the factory right? There are tolerances, and Rays/Volk likes making a "face" then add/take size from the hub area, so there has to be an amount that is 100% ok to take off. If Rays said the grade of their aluminum used I'd ask one of the engineers at work to work it out and tell me what is safe/acceptable

Machine shop, obviously. Cost? LOL, free, got myself a machine shop at work.
And considering CE28Ns in 19" are discontinued, it's kind of a bitch to find another set. Otherwise I would another set in a heartbeat
