Any CNC Programmers in the house?

Here's the issue, I have some old discontinued after-market three piece wheels, and I'm trying to widen them by and inch, well I've found some barrels, that get me half inch closer to my goal. I've been calling some local machinist to make me a loop or ring that I can sandwich between the assembled barrels and the wheel center. I've called some local machinists, and pretty much tell me its going to cost me $1500. To make me two pieces. I asked them why is it so much to manufacture, they pretty much told me that the cnc programmers take up the majority of the cost. Essentially what I'm looking for is an aluminum half inch thick loop with 20 evenly spaced holes (not sure about the inner and overall diameter dimensions yet). Any thought, theories and help will be greatly appreciated!! One other thing I've called Kodiak for a quote, come to find out they no longer make after-market barrels.

Best Regards

Gil
