Splined mag wheels? Who makes or machines them without center adapter?

Wondering if anyone makes a splined mag wheel that does not have bolted to to the wheel center splined hub like most minilites and dunlops mags that I have seen? Wondering if anyone has tried to machine a wheel to fit on like a Halibrand pin drive knock off.
 
Dunlop made peg drive wheels. Magnesium is too soft I think to survive as a spline drive without an adapter.

Yes, I was just meaning generically, a solid "mag" wheel not actually magnesium. Specifically, i have looked at Vintage Wheels stuff, they look like the old style magnesium but they are not actually made of magnesium.

The dunlop steel wheels that I have seen have the splined hubs that bolt into the center of the wheel, like the mini-lites. PIN drives would require modifing the hubs and I am just looking for something that will mount to factory hubs up front.

Might be simpler to modify front to a bolt on GM style hub and get the Trigo adapters for their knock offs. Then I could bolt on the adapters at all four corners. I have a GM rear now wtih bolt on Dunlops and BJ8 Hubs up front with knock off wires.
