Anyone with a basic woodworking shop?

I need 2 simple wooden rings to be used as adaptors for my car door speakers replacements. I bought the only "compatible" plastic adaptor I could find and after mounting the new speaker with it the door panel doesn't have enough clearance anymore, 20€ wasted... Wood rings are the only reliable solution.
I have the exact size needed, should be a easy job for anyone with appropiate machinery, but I have problems finding anyone. I'll pay for the job obviously!
Hope someone replies, thank you!

I have the equipment to make the exact sizes or shapes for you out of plastic, if it they're not too big.
I can do it for free.

They are supposed to be 170mm outer diameter, 140 mm inner diameter, 20mm height, with 4 holes for M5 bolts. Is it too big?

Actually outer diameter needs to be 165mm, my bad!

I think 165mm is doable.
Send me a picture of the one you have that is the wrong size so I can have some kind of rough idea how it should look. Also, are the M5 holes threaded? If they are, you're either gonna have to embed a nut, which means the design must accommodate it if you don't want ghetto-style. If they're not threaded, then it's very straightforward.
How are the holes situated? Are they in cross pattern? Do they go all the way? Do they need a counter-sink?

Still looking for someone who can craft these for me!

Note to others wanting to help this person:
I spent an hour helping him and even designed about 70% of what he wants. I sent him the draft design and asked him to take better pictures so I can improve the design, he didn't even thank me and he didn't answer, and that was the last I heard of him.

Very rude person. I regret offering him help for free. So just a fair warning so you don't waste your time on this rude person.

Wow I don't know what I expected when asking for help from this community, but I definitely did not expect to get bullied online. Not even gonna try to defend myself, this is just sad...

That's not bullying. Beep_boop is warning others they shouldn't bother wasting their time also.

If you didn't bother to thank them or reply with what they need to be able to HELP you, free of charge, you don't get to play the victim.

Honestly, I don't know what you expected when asking for help from this community if that's how you behave. Sad, is the right word.

To add to what PJG said, I've been in this community for 6 years, so I'm not really gonna start soiling my reputation now by inventing stories.

Just so I'm not talking out of my arse, here's a screenshot of the full exchange for everybody to see and decide if I was bullying him https://i.imgur.com/swRtIyb.png (Starts from the bottom. Top is the last message in the exchange)
