Yes, Todd @ AWE had Hammans re-drilled and installed on his A4 for quite a while

Some of the smaller wheel shops

offer this service. Basically involves filling up the old holes, and redrilling newer holes to change the bolt pattern. BMW rims can be slightly modified to fit the A4 for example. Wheel Power I believes offers this service on their Hamanns, though you probably have to buy from them. Check with your local tire/rim shop.
