one of me mates has told me that there are companies that can modify the offset of some alloy wheels... which i am very interested in as i'm after a set of 17" kahn RS-Zs for my corsa, but they only come in a 35 offset..
is he talking a load of todge or is it true? (if so... does anybody have any recommendations for companies?)

yes its true - they can grind a few mm off the back of the alloy to give it a better offset, but with a 35et ya still gunna be struggling

It also weakens the wheel structure. I wouldnt do it.

depends how much you want taken off, can only take so much off of different wheels. my momo's they could only take 2mm if that, so i didnt bother.

well i want them as close to 45 as possible... considering they're 17s...
thankfully i haven't bought them yet... i just wanted to see whether it can be done or not.

When i had my wolfrace wheels refurbished by prestige I checked if i could get them machined to et49 but they werent willing to take off any metal (et42s) because they didn't want to be held responsible for any problems that might happen
